: The project was evaluated by the Data Protection Officer at the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in the municipality of Bergen, and active consent to participate and study approval from the Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics in Western Norway was waived, according to the General Data Protection Regulation (article 6 nr. 1, letter C, article 3, article 9, nr. 2 letter H and article 9 nr. 3), and the Municipal Health and Care Services Act in Norway (paragraph 4.2). Information letters, with the possibility to opt-out, were sent to those patients who were alive as of September 12, 2023. For long-term nursing home residents, the information letters were sent to the unit manager at each nursing home, and the information was subsequently conveyed to the resident and/or next of kin. For those patients who were transferred from the Covid-19 ward to their own homes, the information letter was sent to their home address.
