Declarations
:
: The study was approved by the Research Ethics Review Committees of the University of Fortaleza under No. 2,110,189, Universidade Federal do Ceará - Maternidade Escola Assis Chateaubriand under No. 2,144,999, Hospital Geral de Fortaleza under No. 2,132,678 and Hospital Geral Dr. César Cals under No. 2,175,720. These ethics review committees waived the need for consent as this is a retrospective survey using secondary data from medical records, which does not interfere with the care received by the patient. In addition, there are no physical and/or biological risks for the patient since the study is purely observational. The confidentiality of the personal identification of patients is guaranteed by the main researcher and by the techniques of data collection and storage: patients will be identified only through initials and registration numbers that serve only to validate the individuality of the information. The Loyal Depositary Term was used to authorize the collection of secondary data, assuming the responsibility of handling these data.
