This study does not fall under the scope of the Dutch Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO). It therefore does not require approval from an accredited medical ethics committee in the Netherlands. Ethical review was waived by the Medical Ethics Review Committee Utrecht, the waiver of this study is registered under 22–482. However, in the UMC Utrecht, an independent quality check has been carried out to ensure compliance with legislation and regulations (regarding data management, privacy aspects and legal aspects). Informed consent was not taken because the EU GDPR does not apply, since no personal data is collected.
