Declarations
:
: This retrospective study was part of a larger project focusing on the aetiology of pharyngotonsillitis in primary care. It was approved, and informed consent was waived, by the Regional Ethical Review Board, Linköping University (Dnr. 2016/529–31). Although personal identification numbers were used in order to match the datasets, these were subsequently anonymized, and no personal EMRs were read during the study. Permissions for data collection were obtained from all the managers of the PHCCs, and the data were stored on servers with restricted access, in compliance with good clinical research practice. Any potential harm to the integrity of the patients was considered negligible, and the data collection had no impact on past or future access to health care.
