Daily Clinical Practice
Other interventionThe assignment of a patient to a specific therapeutic strategy will not be decided in advance by the study protocol, but will be determined by the usual clinical practice of medicine, and the decision to prescribe a specific treatment will be clearly dissociated from the decision to include a patient in the study. No intervention will be applied to patients, either diagnostic or follow-up, other than the usual clinical practice.
