Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study was approved by the University of Cape Town – Groote Schuur Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC 532/2017). Patients signed informed consent at enrolment. However if the patient was too unwell during the acute admission, the study was explained later again to the patient and written informed consent was taken. If this was not possible as part of the initial in-patient admission, the Research Ethics Committee specifically gave consent for the patient and/or next of kin to be contacted telephonically for consent to be taken.
