Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the IDIAP Jordi Gol of Barcelona (P13/063). This study is the result of the research project presented by our research Group to the “Information System for the Development in Research in Primary Care” (SIDIAP) 2016 grant convened by the Jordi Gol Institute for Primary Care Research (IDIAP) of Barcelona, which was the winner. The IDIAP, a public institution of the Catalan Health Service (ICS), provided us with clinical data from the computerized medical records of all patients in Catalonia (Spain). We did not directly access the clinical records of the patients, but the project detailed the clinical variables that were required and IDIAP provided them us. IDIAP never provided us the identification data (name, surname, address, telephone number, identification number…) of any patient.
