By Paolo Taffache, Marco Di Mitri, Vincenzo Altimari and 2 others.
Abstract
Protocol for a pediatric-focused scoping review of measured systemic antibiotic concentrations in infected pleural fluid, with a separate adult evidence stream. PubMed strategy PM-S1-v1.0 was frozen on 2026-10-26; the initial NCBI ESearch count was 321 records and 9 of 11 sentinel PMIDs were retrieved. This deposit is a protocol, not study results.
