Text: According to Italian law, anonymized data can only be made publicly available if there is potential for the re-identification of individuals (https://www.garanteprivacy.it). Thus, the data underlying this study are available on request to researchers who meet the criteria for access to confidential data. In order to obtain data, approval must be obtained from the Area Vasta Emilia Nord (AVEN) Ethics Committee, who would then authorize us to provide aggregated or anonymized data. Data access requests should be addressed to the Ethics Committee at CEReggioemilia@ausl.re.it as well as to the authors at the Epidemiology unit of AUSL - IRCCS of Reggio Emilia at info.epi@ausl.re.it, who are the data guardians.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
