: Because the present study was a retrospective and non-interventional study, we adopted an opt-out method instead of written informed consent. We provided patients with the opportunity to opt out by explaining the purpose of the study and the required individual data for the study by posting the poster at five clinics (Kamioooka Jinsei Clinic, Yokohama, Japan; Yokohama Jinsei Hospital, Yokohama; Bunko Jin Clinic, Yokohama; Kanazawa Clinic, Yokohama; or Oppama Jinsei Clinic, Yokosuka, Japan).
: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee at which the studies were conducted and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. This study was approved by the Ethics Committees of Yokohama City University Hospital (IRB approval number F 220200037).
