Women are entering medicine at increasing rates, particularly in dermatology. In this study, we compared women's influence and status in academic dermatology with that of men by examining authorship roles in peer-reviewed dermatology literature. We examined the literature in 2009 and compared that to 10 years prior (1999). A total of 1399 articles were reviewed, 594 of which met study criteria and were included in statistical analysis. There was a marked increase in senior female authorship over a decade (22% vs. 38%, < 0.001). Female first authorship increased as well (41% vs. 51%, < 0.001). In contrast, changes in male senior and first authorship were not statistically significant. Federal funding for female senior authors increased over a decade (19% vs. 37%, = 0.05), and female senior authors in the 2009 cohort were more likely to hold a dual MD/PhD degree (0% vs. 11%, = 0.04) or pure PhD degree (11% vs. 27%, = 0.04). Women are approaching parity with men in terms of authorship in the dermatology literature, and additional research training and attainment of federal funding have helped women publish as senior authors.
女性进入医学领域的比例在不断上升，尤其是在皮肤科。在本研究中，我们通过审视同行评审的皮肤科文献中的作者角色，比较了女性在学术皮肤科领域与男性的影响力和地位。我们研究了2009年的文献，并将其与十年前（1999年）的文献进行比较。总共审查了1399篇文章，其中594篇符合研究标准并纳入统计分析。十年间，女性资深作者的比例显著增加（22%对38%，<0.001）。女性第一作者的比例也有所增加（41%对51%，<0.001）。相比之下，男性资深作者和第一作者的变化没有统计学意义。十年间，女性资深作者获得的联邦资金有所增加（19%对37%，=0.05），并且2009年队列中的女性资深作者更有可能拥有医学博士/哲学博士双学位（0%对11%，=0.04）或纯哲学博士学位（11%对27%，=0.04）。在皮肤科文献的作者身份方面，女性正逐渐与男性持平，额外的研究培训和获得联邦资金有助于女性以资深作者的身份发表文章。
