Declarations
:
: This study, which involved a retrospective analysis, was granted an ethics waiver by the local Institutional Review Board under the designated project ID EKNZ BASEC 2023–00446.
: The study was exempted by the Ethics Committee because it uses completely anonymized data in a retrospective analysis. Anonymized data is no longer considered personal data, as it cannot be traced back to individual participants. As a result, the study does not pose any risk to the privacy or rights of the participants, and therefore, formal ethical approval was deemed unnecessary by the committee. Consequently, requirements for informed consent to participate and consent to publish do not apply, as there is no identifiable information or direct involvement of individuals in the research.
: The authors declare no competing interests.
