Declarations

: This study was approved by the ethics committee of Rabin Medical Centre (RMC-0600-23). Patient confidentiality was maintained throughout data collection and analysis by replacing protected personally identifiable information with research identification codes (ID codes). Since data were evaluated retrospectively, pseudonymously and solely obtained for the study purposes, a requirement of informed consent was waived. Due to the retrospective nature of the study, a patient’s consent to participate is not applicable.

: Not applicable.
