Declarations
:
: The researchers were provided only with anonymized data linkages, and no link could be made to an individual. Analyses were performed only on a group level. The study complies with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the regional ethical committee in Stockholm, Sweden (number of the ethical approval: 2017/501-31). Patients were informed about the registration to SveDem, and they have the option to have their data removed from the register. The Swedish law does not require informed consent for registry-based research; however, the regional ethical committees may require informed consent on patients’ behalf for any study—no such request was made for this particular study.
