Declarations
:
: Need for informed consent was not required per University of Michigan Institutional Review Board as outlined in the statement below University of Michigan IRBMED Not regulated status: QA and QI Activities – other HUM00166830. Based on the information provided, the proposed study does not fit the definition of human subjects research requiring IRB approval (per 45 CFR 46, 21 CFR 56 and University of Michigan policy). Although the results of your project may be published, program evaluations, self-assessment of programs or business practices, and other quality improvement projects do not require IRB review because in these cases, it is the activities rather than human subjects that are the objects of the study. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations, including applicable university policies, federal regulations, and the Declaration of Helsinki. Data was anonymized prior to conducting data management and processing. This includes, and is not limited to, the stripping of any personally identifiable information of the patient that could lead to re-identification. Patient data was de-identified into an encrypted ID, and the research team does not have access to a cross-walk to re-identify patients.
