: Using a check box, patients provided informed consent for use of their anonymized and aggregated data for research and publication in scientific journals. Data were collected in such a way that patients and physicians could not be identified directly; all data were aggregated and de-identified before receipt. Data collection was undertaken in line with European Pharmaceutical Marketing Research Association (EphMRA) guidelines [ ], and therefore it does not require ethics committee approval. The research was submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB), study protocol number: Protocol #21-ADRW-104. Each survey was performed in full accordance with relevant legislation at the time of data collection, including the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act 1996 [ ], Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act legislation [ ], and the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments. The US, Japan, and Canada are signatories to the EphMRA Code of Conduct.
