Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the University of Toronto Health Sciences Research Ethics Board followed by subsequent ICES approval for data creation and access (protocol reference #34553). Data from all databases used for this study were de identified and no extraction of personally identifiable information occurred. There was no recruitment of any participants, no access to patient identifiers, and no contact with individuals. The need for consent was thus waived by the University of Toronto and ICES. All administrative data received and held at ICES are used only for the approved research. Only de-identified variables specific to the study were used. ICES data cannot be copied or transferred out of ICES, except for the results of analysis, which may be removed subject to ICES approval.
