Competing interests
: The authors declare no competing interest.
: This study was approved by the research committee and the Board of Directors of all six participating hospitals. Data were obtained under the Dutch law ‘scientific research and statistics in the interest of public health, where asking for permission is not possible or inappropriate for several reasons’, unless patients had objected to the general use of their personal medical record for scientific research. Data were encrypted with an encryption key provided by the NCR. Encryption was shortly lifted to access the patients’ number for accessing his/her medical record. A waiver of informed consent was given by the METC Zuyderland under the reference number METCZ20200069.
