Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: Ethical approval was obtained from the responsible ethics committee (29-270 ex 16/17). The hospitals participated on a voluntary basis, and all responsible persons (medical and nursing hospital directors) gave their written informed consent. The persons interviewed agreed orally to participate in the interviews. Following the recommendations of the ethics committee, it was not necessary to obtain the informed consent from the patients because we only collected routine data.
