A Data Availability Statement is a prerequisite for the submission of any research article to the journal. Upon submission, authors are requested to indicate their agreement with the following standardized Data Availability Statements text options in bold, and to provide supplementary information as specified in the instructions below. Authors are permitted to choose multiple statements if they possess data pertaining to various conditions. The recommendations of the ICMJE offer additional direction regarding the composition of a comprehensive statement.

These statements will be included in the footnotes section of the final published article under the heading Data Availability Statement.

• Data are available in a public, open access repository. Please state the repository name, the persistent URL, and any conditions of reuse (eg. license, embargo). All data that are publicly available and used in the writing of an article should be cited in the text and the reference list, whether they are data generated by the author(s) or by other researchers.
• Data are available upon reasonable request. Please state what the data are (e.g. deidentified participant data), who the data are available from, their publishable contact details (e.g. a generic lab email address or an individual ORCID identifier please ensure you have permission) and under what conditions reuse is permitted. Is there additional information available (e.g. protocols, statistical analysis plans)?
• Data may be obtained from a third party and are not publicly available. Please state what the data are (e.g. deidentified participant data), who the data are available from, their publishable contact details (e.g. a generic lab email address or an individual ORCID identifier please ensure you have permission), and under what conditions reuse is permitted. Is there additional information available (e.g. protocols, statistical analysis plans)
• All data relevant to the study are included in the article or uploaded as supplementary information. Please ensure this does not include patient identifiable data. Please state “Not applicable” in the free text box

• No data are available. Please state “Not applicable” in the free text box

When explicit guidelines are not provided by a journal, editors are permitted to utilize or modify the aforementioned statements. Whether or not multiple statements must be merged is contingent on the characteristics of the research.
