This chart review will be performed by the site investigator or collaborators. The data collection is stated in 6 months, and during this period the investigators will identify and randomly include the patients who meet selection criteria to avoid bias during patient's inclusion. The observational period will be conformed of 12 months, and the patient's data will be collected or documented in an electronic case report form (eCRF), which will automatically create or assign an identification numerical code to every patient the moment it's created in the electronic platform.
