Ethics approval and cosent to participate
: This was a quality improvement project where data was collected as part of routine clinical care. Furthermore patients were diagnosed and treated according to currently accepted recommendations. The purpose of this analysis was improvement of clinical care rather than primary research. The authors had access to the data as part of their role as care providers to the patients involved however all data was anonymised at the data collection stage. For these reasons ethical approval and / or patient consent was not sought. This was discussed and agreed with the R&D Department at University Hospital Birmingham.
