: The authors have no relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose.
: This study was performed in line with the principles of the Tri-Council Policy Statement 2 (TCPS2).. Approval was granted by the Laurentian University Research and Ethics Board number 6020852.
: Consent to participate and publish was not obtained for this study. We utilized secondary data from ICES (Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences). As a prescribed entity under Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), ICES is authorized to collect personal health information from health organizations without consent, specifically for the purpose of evaluating and monitoring Ontario’s health system. Access to this research data is granted only after approval by ICES’ Privacy Office and a Research Ethics Board (REB). Once approved, ICES provides research-ready, linked, and de-identified data. All personal identifiers are irrevocably removed before the data is made available to researchers, making written consent unattainable.
