Declarations
:
: The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. This study was exempted from the Dutch Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act by the Medical Ethics Committee Twente (METC Twente: K16-85, October 2016) and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Medisch Spectrum Twente. Patient consent was waived by the Ethical Committee due to the more observational design of this study. Therefore, this research does not fall under the ICMJE definition of a clinical trial (patients were not assigned to a medical intervention by the investigator) and was therefore not registered.
