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 Jordan University Hospital (JUH) granted approval for the study’s protocol. The conduct of this investigation adhered to JUH’s code of ethics for protecting patients’ rights in research studies (number 10/2022/17082). 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 no patient identifiers were accessed, the IRB at JUH waived the need for informed consent.
