Declarations
:
: I declare that this research involving human participants has been performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and has been approved by the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital Ethics Committee (CEIC; v2.0 (20/04/2020). ARTiCO is a study protocol involving human participants, so informed consent to participate in the study has to be done in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and will be obtained from participants before including in the study. Participants capable of giving informed consent will be voluntary. First, each potential subject must be adequately informed of the aims, methods, sources of funding, any possible conflicts of interest, institutional affiliations of the researcher, the anticipated benefits and potential risks of the study and the discomfort it may entail, post-study provisions and any other relevant aspects of the study. The potential subject must be informed of the right to refuse to participate in the study or to withdraw consent to participate at any time without reprisal. After ensuring that the potential subject has understood the information, the physician must then seek the potential subject’s freely given informed consent, preferably in writing. If the consent cannot be expressed in writing, the non-written consent must be formally documented and witnessed. In addition, research subjects should be given the option of being informed about the general outcome and results of the study. In the case that the potential subject is in a dependent relationship with the physician or may consent under duress, the informed consent must be sought by an appropriately qualified individual who is completely independent of this relationship.
