: The study was conducted according to the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki, and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Southern Medical University (No. NFEC-2022-491 on 5 December 2022).
: All participants voluntarily participated in the survey, and the information in the database was completely anonymized. Since the survey was anonymous, it was impossible to obtain informed written consent, owing to the nature of the online survey. In this case, an informed consent form was included at the beginning of the questionnaire to select invited guests. Dialog and alert pop-up boxes were used to remind participants who agreed to complete the survey to send their replies to our research group. Thus, once a questionnaire was completed, it was assumed that the participants had verbally agreed to participate in our survey. Confidentiality was maintained for all information collected in the survey.
