: Before starting the study, we received ethical clearance from the General Hospital Institution Ethics Committee at the Indira Gandhi Government General Hospital and Postgraduate Institute (Ref. No/GHIEC/2020/243; June 2020). Before collecting data, we informed the hospital director and laboratory personnel about the study objectives. Since we used secondary data, we did not need the patients’ informed consent. We did not include personal identifiers on the data collection sheet to protect the confidentiality of the participant’s records. Additionally, access to secured data from participant records was restricted to the investigators only.
