: The New England Institutional Review Board determined that studies conducted in CCAE, MDCR, MDCD, OPTUM-EHR, and OPTUM-CDM were exempt from study-specific Institutional Review Board review, as these studies do not qualify as human subject research. For use of IQVIA™’s FRANCE, GERMANY, AUSTRALIA, AMB-EMR, and PharMetrics+ , no patient permission was necessary because all patient data are deidentified for research purposes. Based on Ethical Guidelines for Epidemiological Research issued by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, ethics approval and informed consent were not applicable for use of JMDC. The use of AUSOM data in this study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Ajou University Hospital (IRB number: AJOUIRB-MDB-2022–263) and the use of KDH data—by the Institutional Review Board of Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital (IRB number: 2022–09-021); both committees waived the requirement for informed consent.
