Compliance with ethical standards

: The studies involving human participants were reviewed and approved by the Al-Baath University Institutional Review Board (Approval No: Al-B 34–04372). All procedures were conducted under the ethical principles outlined in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its subsequent revisions. All our methods were carried out under relevant guidelines and regulations. Informed consent was obtained from all the participants and their legal guardian(s). For illiterate participants, informed consent was obtained from legally authorized representatives. We explained the purpose of the study to the patients and their family members before using their data in this study. It was all voluntary; no names were taken, so we provided anonymous data collection.
