: After the introduction of the general consent at the Children’s University Hospital (2016), data were only used if the patients (or legal guardian) had signed (consented to) the general consent or had been informed of the right to object by means of the general consent. If a patient (or legal guardian) had not provided feedback in the form of consent or refusal after 30 days, it can be assumed that the patient (or legal guardian) has not exercised his or her right to object. Patients who rejected the general consent were not included in the study. The local ethics committee Bern approved the study (KEK-Nr. 2021-00342).
