This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Santos Dumont Institute (SDI; proponent institution), under the number CAAE 74298723.7.0000.0129. In addition, it was forwarded for approval by Onofre Lopes University Hospital (HUOL) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) (coparticipating institution), under the number CAAE 74298723.7.3001.5292, both committees in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. All procedures were in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, revised in 2013, and following relevant guidelines and regulations.
