Declarations
:
: For the coordinating center of Brescia, Italy, the ethics committee approval was obtained on July 17, 2017 (NP-2762). The study approval was also obtained at each site from local regulatory boards before the study started. Written informed consent was obtained by family representatives. In the Italian centers, the requirement of informed consent was waived, because relatives are not regarded as legal representatives of the patient in the absence of a formal designation. Written informed consent was requested from all surviving patients if, and as soon as, they regained their mental competency.
