Declarations

: The authors declare no competing interests.
: We submitted our work to the local ethics committee (Ethics Committee of the University of Ulm, Germany) for evaluation. The local ethics committee reviewed the formalities of the study; as this was an anonymous survey of medical professionals with retrospective character, no specific ethical approval was needed. The study procedures were in accordance to the Declaration of Helsinki ethical guidelines. All study participants voluntarily participated in the survey. An explanatory introductory text about the background and aims of the study was printed on each questionnaire. At this point, it was explicitly stated that participation in the study was anonymous and voluntary. Since this was a survey of medical personnel, informed consent and ethics approval was waived by the institutional review board of the University of Ulm, Germany.“
