For retrospective cases in which the participants had already been discharged, informed consent was obtained verbally from the participants’ legal guardians by phone. This verbal consent procedure was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee as part of the study protocol, and all calls were audio-recorded for documentation. The informed consent process for all participants, whether written or verbal, was conducted in accordance with the approved study protocol, the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and ethical standards to ensure the rights, safety, and well-being of all participants.
