Declarations
:
: The study was approved by Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research (SIKT), with registration number 805491, and it was in addition approved by local data protection officers at each trial site. The study was first assessed by the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (ethical committee: REK Sør-øst D), reference number 457837 which deemed the study outside of their scope of responsibility because it was regarded as health service research rather than health research. It was subsequently transferred to and approved by SIKT, which for health service research has the function of an ethics committee and takes care of the external ethics review in this study. The project follow the Norwegian personal data legislation and regulation, the Norwegian Health Research Act and the guiding principle of the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent to participate in the study will be obtained from all participants.
