: The retrospective medical record review study was assessed by The Prince Charles Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number: HREC/16/QPCH/505) and deemed a quality improvement initiative and did not require ethical approval. Evidence of ethical exemption has been provided to the journal. As per usual process at the study site, administrative clinical data is submitted to a national collaborative of hospitals and health services across Australia and New Zealand for the purposes of benchmarking, comparing performance, and sharing innovations which produces a series of automated but customised benchmarking reports in key clinical areas. Therefore, no additional permissions were required for the Senior Clinician co-investigator (JdL) to access the data.
