: This study was approved on 12 November 2018, by an independent ethics committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes Sud Méditerranée V; Reference 18.068). All participating study sites accepted the single ethics committee approval. The ethics committee expressly authorized the use of oral non-opposition, as permitted for non-interventional research conducted in France and involving no risk or constraint beyond routine clinical practice. Participants received comprehensive written information about the study objectives, procedures, and their rights, in compliance with Articles L.1121-1 and L.1122-1-1 of the French Public Health Code. Oral non-opposition to the collection of their personal data was obtained prior to participant inclusion and documented in the study records, as required by local regulations governing non-interventional studies in France. All data were processed in compliance with the reference methodology MR-003 from the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL), ensuring the protection of participant privacy and data integrity.
