Meta-Analysis Review
INTRODUCTION
Infections caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia are clinically important due to its intrinsic resistance to a broad range of antibiotics. Therefore, selecting the most appropriate antibiotic to treat S. maltophilia infection is a major challenge.
AIM
The current meta-analysis aimed to investigate the global prevalence of antibiotic resistance among S. maltophilia isolates to the develop more effective therapeutic strategies.
METHOD
A systematic literature search was performed using the appropriate search syntax after searching Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases (May 2023). Statistical analysis was performed using Pooled and the random effects model in R and the metafor package. A total of 11,438 articles were retrieved. After a thorough evaluation, 289 studies were finally eligible for inclusion in this systematic review and meta-analysis.
RESULT
Present analysis indicated that the highest incidences of resistance were associated with doripenem (97%), cefoxitin (96%), imipenem and cefuroxime (95%), ampicillin (94%), ceftriaxone (92%), aztreonam (91%) and meropenem (90%) which resistance to Carbapenems is intrinsic. The lowest resistance rates were documented for minocycline (3%), cefiderocol (4%). The global resistance rate to TMP-SMX remained constant in two periods before and after 2010 (14.4% vs. 14.6%). A significant increase in resistance to tigecycline and ceftolozane/tazobactam was observed before and after 2010.
CONCLUSIONS
Minocycline and cefiderocol can be considered the preferred treatment options due to low resistance rates, although regional differences in resistance rates to other antibiotics should be considered. The low global prevalence of resistance to TMP-SMX as a first-line treatment for S. maltophilia suggests that it remains an effective treatment option.

Meta-Analysis Review
There is a need for information regarding the clinical picture of hemorrhagic pneumonia caused by in patients with hematologic malignancies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with hemorrhagic pneumonia caused by : A review of the clinical picture of hemorrhagic pneumonia based on reported cases in the literature was performed. In addition, patients with hematologic malignancies who had a infection were included in the meta-analysis to evaluate risk factors for hemorrhagic pneumonia. : A total of 91 patients had hemorrhagic pneumonia. Acute myeloid leukemia was present in 57 patients (62.6%). Those with bacteremia accounted for 94%, while those with neutropenia accounted for 95% and those with thrombocytopenia accounted for 86.7%. Hemorrhagic pneumonia was a risk factor for mortality of infection in patients with hematologic malignancies. Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were identified as risk factors for hemorrhagic pneumonia. : bacteremia with hemorrhagic pneumonia in patients with hematologic malignancies is a situation with rapid development and high mortality. Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were risk factors for hemorrhagic pneumonia in patients with hematologic malignancies and with bacteremia; thus, these patients should be managed with caution.

Review
To summarize the current knowledge of the clinical impact of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM) in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. A systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guideline recommendations, was performed through searches in PubMed and EMBASE databases, and CF National and International Registries websites from 2000 to 2022. Overall, 184 articles were initially retrieved, out of which 15 were selected and included in the review. Data form 6 Registries and 9 pertinent articles from the references of the studies selected were also considered, resulting in 30 studies in total. The prevalence of SM in patients with CF is increasing in Europe while it is declining in North America. The role of chronic colonization of SM on lung function and clinical status in CF patients is still under debate. The most recent studies suggested a pathogenic role of SM chronic infections in CF patients with an acceleration in lung function decline, an increase in hospitalization rates and an association with co-infection. Reflecting the uncertainty about the role of SM in CF, little is available about antibiotic therapeutic strategies for both acute exacerbations and chronic infections. Antimicrobial therapy should be performed in the acute exacerbations, while it may be reasonable to attempt eradication when the first colonization is identified. Nevertheless, it is not established which antibiotic regimen should be preferred, and overtreatment could contribute to the selection of antimicrobial-resistant strains. Further studies are warranted in this regard.

Meta-Analysis
While trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is the first-line therapy of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections, colistin is one of the therapeutic options in cases of allergy or resistance to TMP-SMX. However, understanding the global status of resistance to colistin amongst S. maltophilia isolates could be helpful for appropriate antibiotic prescription. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the prevalence of colistin resistance in clinical S. maltophilia isolates worldwide. According to eligibility criteria, a total of 61 studies were included in the analysis. The pooled prevalence for colistin resistance was 42% (95% CI: 35-49%), ranging from 0.1 to 97%. Subgroups analysis indicated that, the pooled prevalence of colistin resistance was 44% (95% CI: 29-60%) in 15 studies during 2000-2010, and it was estimated to be 41% (95% CI: 33-50%) in 46 articles from 2011 to 2021. It was 46% (95% CI: 35-58%) in the studies that used broth microdilution method, and 39% (95% CI: 30-49%) in the studies with other used methods. The resistance rate in Asian countries was 45% (95% CI: 31-60%), in European countries was 45% (95% CI: 34-56%) and in the countries of North and South America was 33% (95% CI: 20-46%). Our review showed notable resistance to colistin in clinical S. maltophilia isolates. Given the estimated resistance rates, alternative antibiotics could be preferred to treat serious infections due to S. maltophilia.

Meta-Analysis Review
OBJECTIVES
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia), an opportunistic pathogen, causes infection in patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, mechanical ventilation, or catheters and in long-term hospitalized patients. Due to its extensive resistance to various antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents, S. maltophilia is challenging to treat. Using case reports, case series, and prevalence studies, the current study provides a systematic review and meta-analysis of antibiotic resistance profiles across clinical isolates of S. maltophilia.
METHODS
A systematic literature search was performed for original research articles published in Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases from 2000 to 2022. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 14 software to report antibiotic resistance of S. maltophilia clinical isolates worldwide.
RESULTS
223 studies (39 case reports/case series and 184 prevalence studies) were collected for analysis. A meta-analysis of prevalence studies demonstrated that the most antibiotic resistance worldwide was to levofloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), and minocycline (14.4%, 9.2%, and 1.4%, respectively). Resistance to TMP/SMX (36.84%), levofloxacin (19.29%), and minocycline (1.75%) were the most prevalent antibiotic resistance types found in evaluated case reports/case series studies. The highest resistance rate to TMP/SMX was reported in Asia (19.29%), Europe (10.52%), and America (7.01%), respectively.
CONCLUSION
Considering the high resistance to TMP/SMX, more attention should be paid to patients' drug regimens to prevent the emergence of multidrug-resistant S. maltophilia isolates.
