Effects of probiotics on sleep parameters: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: Although sleep is essential for maintaining good health and well-being, sleep disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent. Probiotics may play a role in sleep regulation; therefore, this study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the effects of probiotics on sleep parameters.

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology.

The role of gram stain in reducing broad-spectrum antibiotic use: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis.

The number of studies that verify whether Gram stain can help to reduce the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics is relatively limited compared to those evaluating its concordance with culture test results. Thereby, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Gram staining in the reduction of broad-spectrum antibiotics and its impact on clinical outcomes. We systematically reviewed studies having used Gram stain to guide antibiotic selection and evaluated performance measures between 1996 and 2022.
