Declarations

:

: According to Danish legislation (the Act on Research Ethics Review of Health Research Projects § 14, Sect. 2), studies collecting data exclusively via questionnaires does not need approval from an ethical committee. Study procedures were approved by the hospital management, and the processing of personal data was approved by the Region of Southern Denmark and listed in the internal record prior to the initiation of data collection. Reference number: 21/16770. Participation in the study was anonymous and participants could therefore not give their named consent. Because of the retrospective nature of the study, informed consent was waived by the Research Support Office, Lillebaelt Hospital, Vejle, who administered the internal record. All study procedures were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.
