Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
: The protocol was approved by the local ethical committee (Comitato Etico Provinciale di Brescia, approval number NP2245).
: Written informed consent was obtained from the patient. In case of altered consciousness, the Ethics Committees waived the requirement for consent, as in Italy relatives are not regarded as legal representatives of the patient in the absence of a formal designation. Written informed consent was requested from all surviving patients as soon as they regained their mental competency.
