Declarations
:
: The study was designed and conducted in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the assigned hospital granted approval for the study's protocol (No. #01-22). To safeguard patients' privacy and confidentiality, their medical records were anonymized and de-identified. The research team maintained no direct contact or follow-up with the patients. Given the retrospective observational nature of the study, where data collection occurred after patients' discharge or death, and given that no patient identifiers were accessed, the IRB waived the need for informed consent.
: Not applicable.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests and no affiliation with any organization with a financial interest in the subject matter discussed in the manuscript.
