ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To analyze the proportion of gastroenterology society guidelines and technical reviews with female authors.METHODS:
Retrospective study of the sex of authors of American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD), American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) guidelines and technical reviews.RESULTS:
Between 2007 and 2019, 21% of authors of AASLD, ACG and AGA guidelines, and technical reviews were female. Eighteen percent of first authors were female. There was a statistically significant increase in female authorship over the past 10 years only for AASLD guidelines.CONCLUSIONS:
There were fewer female authors of AASLD, ACG and AGA guidelines, and technical reviews than males. This disparity decreased over time only in AASLD guidelines. Addressing disparities in guideline and technical review authorship may promote academic advancement for female gastroenterologists.Palavras-chave
