Background: Empiric antibiotics active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa are recommended by professional societies for certain infections and are commonly prescribed for hospitalized patients. The effect of this practice on mortality is uncertain.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using Embase, Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Scopus and Google Scholar from earliest entry through 9 October 2023.
Purpose: The gender gap in promotion in academic medicine is well established. However, few studies have reported gender differences in promotion adjusted for scholarly production and national or international reputation, namely, career duration, publications, grant funding, and leadership positions. The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the differences between men and women in achieving benchmarks for promotion and analyze where such differences lie geographically and within specialties.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Scopus and Google Scholar from the earliest entry through to 26 April 2022. We included studies of patients hospitalized with culture-proven MRSA infections that compared mortality rates depending on whether patients received active empirical antibiotics.
