Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Because of the urgent need to develop knowledge regarding COVID-19, patients and members of the public were not directly involved in the study conception. An institutional review board was created to coordinate and validate all COVID-19 related research protocols in the University Hospitals of Geneva. Also, the project was submitted and accepted by Geneva’s committee for research ethics (project ID: 2020–00819). Because this is an observational retrospective study, the need for consent to participate was waived by the same committee.
