:
: This research was conducted in accordance with all relevant guidelines and regulations. The Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board has reviewed the use of data from the OptumLabs® Data Warehouse, a large US database with de-identified administrative claims data for individuals enrolled in private and Medicare Advantage health plans. In accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the U.S. National Institutes of Health, this research represents the use of completely-deidentified claims data. Therefore, this research is exempt from being considered human subjects research by both the Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board and the NIH. Since the subjects are completely de-identified, it is impossible to re-contact these individuals and hence, the need for additional informed consent is also waived by the Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board.
