Declarations
:
: All experimental protocols before starting the study were approved by the research committee of the Mental Health Institute Parnassia Group. The study adhered to relevant guidelines and regulations throughout the research process.For this study, we utilized assessment letters addressed to the general practitioner (GP) and patient data that fell under the treatment responsibility of the primary author RdW. Data collection was contingent upon obtaining verbal consent from each patient, allowing for the sharing of assessment information with the GP and the exchange of medical data. If a patient declined permission, no information was used or collected for the study. Explicit informed consent was not specifically obtained from the patients for this study. However, to ensure ethical considerations, we sought the review of the ‘Medical Research Ethics Committee Leiden-The Hague-Delft’. The committee assessed the permissibility of using and anonymizing the data in a manner that prevented the identification of individual cases. The ‘Medical Research Ethics Committee Leiden-The Hague-Delft’, in accordance with the ‘Involving Human Subjects Act’ (WMO), approved the study and waived the requirement for written informed consent (G21.021/PV/pv).
