Declarations
:
: Approval from an ethics committee or the need for informed consent (articles L. 1461-3 and R. 1461-12 (and following) of the public health code) were not necessary under French law. This was a retrospective study, conducted solely on the basis of pseudonymized data from a legally compulsory data processing system (the Système national des données de santé (SNDS)). Direct access to these pseudonymized data is specifically granted to Santé publique France under French law. Santé publique France is a legal recipient of the France’s National Health Data System (Système national des données de santé), in order to perform its mission of public interest of health surveillance (code de la santé publique, articles R 1461- 13 and subsequent amendments). The study protocol was approved within the framework of an internal validation of Santé publique France. The methods used were conducted in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.
