Compliance with Ethical Standards
:
: The authors have no known conflicts of interest.
: No specific ethics approval was required for our study. We used de-identified patient data made available by the New York State SPARCS program. This dataset is made available freely to the public without any restrictions. We use the data on an “as-is” basis and have not made any attempts to identify the patients. We have followed the New York State SPARCS policies for use of their data. In this age of greater scrutiny of data sources, we hope the editors and reviewers appreciate the value brought by such freely available public data sources, and our efforts to analyze such data.
