Declarations
:
: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. The ethics protocol with number 2018–101513 was approved by the CER-VD ethics committee (Cantonal Commission of Ethics for Human Research, Vaud, Switzerland) that also waived obtaining patients’ written informed consent due to the retrospective nature of the examination. We had no participant aged 16-years old or younger nor patients who opposed to the general hospital research consent.
: In view of the retrospective nature of the study, the ethics committee waved the need for informed consent.
: All the authors declare no competing interests for this retrospective study.
