Declarations

:

: This study was performed in compliance with the national legislation regarding epidemiological studies (Declaration N 2203674v0 of 24 July 2018). Since the study was wholly observational and only used anonymized data (patient names were not recorded), neither ethics approval nor specific written informed consent from participants was required under French law for a retrospective database study. Moreover, in accordance with national ethical directives, the requirement for written informed consent was waived because the study was strictly observational and all data were blinded. (Ref.: French Public Health Code. Article R. 1121-2. []). According to the French Public Health Code, this research also did not require an ethics committee (Ref.: French Public Health Code. Article R. 1121-2. []). The study was conducted with all medical information-related legislation and was declared to the National Registry of Health research body under No. 1113130319. Patients were informed that the study was being carried out via the hospital’s registry of ongoing studies.
