Declarations

: The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.
: The study was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Health. An ethics vote was not necessary because only anonymous data were analyzed retrospectively. The transfer of initially pseudonymized routine data of insured persons of Techniker Krankenkasse and of DAK Gesundheit was applied for and approved at the German Federal Office for Social Security (original institution name: “Bundesamt für Soziale Sicherung”). This was not necessary for the data from the AOK—Die Gesundheitskasse, as these were only made available in anonymized form from the beginning.
