Ethics declaration

: The authors report no conflicts of interest. Formal ethical approval was not required as this was a retrospective cohort study. Approval was granted by the Clinical Audit and Research Management System which allowed a unique ID to be created for each of the two years of the study. This ID allowed a health informatics request to be completed to identify suitable patients from a dataset which was retrospectively analysed. The collected data was completely anonymised and non-identifiable, thus not requiring patient permissions.

: Data availability

: The datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
