Surgical sperm retrieval (SSR) is currently one of the most common procedures in in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, a gap between the guidelines and routine clinical practice regarding antibiotic use in SSR, which might lead to antibiotic resistance, is a challenging problem worldwide.

Unlabelled: A limitation of existing studies of primary care for low back pain (LBP) is that they are not based on direct observation of the clinical encounter and so may underestimate or overestimate the extent of evidence-practice gaps. This was a cross-sectional observational study that observed the management recommendations for LBP provided in primary care using a simulated patient approach. Trained actors requested an over-the-counter medicine or asked for management advice for 1 of 2 simulated patient scenarios: nonspecific LBP (NSLBP) or vertebral compression fracture.
