Declarations

:

: A formal ethical application was not submitted to the Swedish Ethical Review Authority, as the study qualifies as a quality development project conducted in accordance with the Health and Medical Services Act (1982:763), which does not require ethical review under the Swedish Ethical Review Act (2003:460). Furthermore, the study was entirely based on de-identified data, which also exempts it from mandatory ethical review. However, a formal ethical application was submitted to and reviewed by the Research Ethics Advisory Board at Mid Sweden University, which raised no objections (Dnr:2023/3163). Individual participants provided written informed consent to participate. This study adhered to the ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki.
