Declarations
:
: The study had been registered and approved by the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust Governance Board—reference number 24–1389. The Governance Board acted as an advisory panel not as an ethics committee. The study protocol was submitted to the Governance Board; given that the research was limited to secondary use of information previously collected in the course of normal care, and data were fully anonymised, the study did not fill the criteria to require review by the research ethics committee nor patients' consent form, as per the NHS Health Research Authority guidelines (). Hence, participants’ consent to the study was not obtained.
: The dataset analysed during the current study is not publicly available, in accordance to the Confidentiality Policy in force at the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust; this is a legal requirement under the Data Protection Act 2018 (United Kingdom). Data are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
: The authors declare no competing interests.
