: The study was a retrospective cohort study. Data were retrieved from the Danish Central Population Register, the Danish Cause of Death Register, and the Danish National Patient Register. These databases are not publicly available, but the databases can be used for research projects considered beneficial for the society. The use of data and the experimental protocol were approved by Region Zealand with the registration number REG-108-2018. Region Zealand is the public authority in charge of Nykøbing Falster Hospital, where the study was undertaken. According to Danish legislation, approval by the relevant public authority serves as ethical approval of studies based entirely on register-data. No contact was made to patients, their relatives, and/or treating physicians. Informed consent was thus waived by Region Zealand. The experimental protocol followed standard guidelines for cohort studies. To ensure data safety, numbers below 5 were not reported. The study was funded by the Central Region of Denmark, 1-30-72-172-18. The funder had no impact on the design, analysis, interpretation and reporting of the findings.
