: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Niigata University (approval no. 2020 − 0443). Since this is a retrospective study, we believe informed consent is unnecessary. However, since the patient’s will should be respected when participating in the study, consideration was given to the patient by not only disclosing the information on the university’s website “Notice of Clinical Research” but also by posting a notice about the study in the clinic room to disclose information about the study.
