Ethics approval and consent to participate

: The authors declare that, given the nature of the collected and analysed data, no ethic authorizations and no consent declarations were required. The Italian National Health Service (Law N.211 24/06/2003) requires the preliminary ethical approval of research only in cases of clinical trials of investigational medicinal products, medical devices, drug/device combination, and clinical investigation. Our study is solely a service/satisfaction evaluation. Furthermore, Italian law on privacy and data protection (Law N. 196/2003) requires formal actions only in cases of personal and/or sensitive data. Our analysis is completely anonymous, and no personal information was linked or linkable to a specific respondent. Moreover, given the nature of the study, no sensitive data were collected or analysed.
