Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Because this was a retrospective observational study in which anonymised patient data were used, collected during routine clinical practice, informed consent was not mandatory according to the Dutch Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO). The Institutional Ethics Review Board of the Erasmus MC reviewed the study protocol and provided an exemption from formal ethical assessment (MEC-2015-306), based on the non-interventional design. The study was carried out in accordance with the current ethical guidelines for epidemiological research.
