Declarations
:
: The Lebanese American University Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved the study. As this study exclusively involved the analysis of pre-existing, anonymised records and did not include any direct human intervention or contact, it was exempt from the requirement for ethical approval typically necessary for research involving human subjects. In addition, the study's methodology did not involve any interaction with patients, nor did it influence patient care or treatment outcomes. As such, the informed consent requirement was irrelevant to our research framework.
