: Approvals from the <i>Institutional Review Board (IRB) of An-Najah National University</i>, the Palestinian Ministry of Health (PMOH) and An-Najah National University Hospital were obtained before initiating the current investigation. Furthermore, verbal consent was obtained from patients individually, and only patients who agreed to participate were included. The IRB of An-Najah National University approved only verbal consent. Participants received informed verbal consent rather than written consent because no clinical intervention was required for this study. Therefore, the risk of being a participant in this study was definitely below the minimum risk. The authors confirmed that all the methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
