Declarations

:

: This project was approved by the Institutional Review Boards of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA, USA) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA, USA). The collection of patient information and creation of the research resource was reviewed by the Institutional Review Board at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, who granted a waiver of informed consent and approved the data sharing initiative. The study authors had complete the CITI Program course (Human Research and Data or Specimens Only Research) to gain access to the database (Record ID: 47755805). The information of patients in this study is deidentified and anonymous. Individual permission was not required for this retrospective analysis. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. We have currently gone through the course to obtain permission from the ethics committee mentioned above to obtain information of deidentified patients from the database, not from the authors' hospital, so this study may only require approval from the committee above, not the the ethics committee affiliated to authors.
