Declarations
:
: The study was pre-registered on the Open Science Framework repository (DOI:ExternalRef removed). The study was approved by the North-West Greater Manchester East NHS Research Ethics Committee, as part of the DIPLOMA research programme (Reference: 17/NW/0426, 01/08/17, minor amendment 4, 29/09/20). The data used for this analysis was collected as part of routine NHS care and supplied by NHS England to the researchers in anonymised form. The research team had no access to confidential patient information and so the ethics committee did not require us to obtain informed consent. A data processing agreement was in place to ensure appropriate information governance procedures, as approved by the ethics committee. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.
