Declarations
:
: Before commencing the trial, approvals were secured from the Regional Ethics Committee (ID: H-20022320) and the Danish Medicines Agency (ID: 2020033425). Additionally, a legal data handling agreement received approval from the Capital Region of Denmark (ID: P-2020-866). The STEROHCA trial adhered to the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Prior to inclusion, written consent was acquired from a primary trial guardian and later verified by a secondary trial guardian. Efforts were made to secure written informed consent from the closest relatives upon hospital admission, and subsequently, consent was sought from all patients upon the restoration of their decision-making capacity.
