To evaluate the evolving representation of women in the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR).
A retrospective review of the available gender demographic data of various SIR subgroups between 2008 and 2017 was performed. The gender makeup of the following groups was analyzed: SIR membership, SIR Executive Council members and officers, Annual Meeting invited speakers, committee chairs, Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) first and senior authors, JVIR editorial board, IR Quarterly (IRQ) authors, and active interventional radiology (IR) residents and fellows.
From 2008 to 2017, the percentage of female representation in SIR members doubled (from 6% to 13.1%). In the same period, female representation also significantly increased in Executive Council members (0% to 20%) and officers (0% to 50%), SIR Annual Meeting presenters (5.1% to 15.4%), and JVIR first authors (10% to 14.5%) and senior authors (7.1% to 11.9%). From 2012 to 2017, there were increases in female representation among SIR committee chairs (21% to 28%) and IRQ authors (4.5% to 27%). However, the percentage of female IR residents and fellows did not significantly change between 2008 and 2017 (11% vs 16.2%; P = .51).
Women interventional radiologists are underrepresented within SIR, representing only 9.2% of active IR physicians. There has been a steady increase in female representation within most areas of SIR evaluated in this study. Although these trends are reassuring, efforts toward increasing recruitment and retention of women in IR need to improve in light of the infancy of IR as a residency program.
评估女性在介入放射学学会（SIR）中的代表性变化。
对 2008 年至 2017 年期间 SIR 各个分组的现有性别人口统计学数据进行回顾性分析。对以下分组的性别构成进行分析：SIR 会员、SIR 执行委员会成员和官员、年会特邀演讲者、委员会主席、《血管与介入放射学杂志》（JVIR）第一作者和资深作者、JVIR 编委会、IR Quarterly（IRQ）作者以及活跃的介入放射科住院医师和研究员。
2008 年至 2017 年，SIR 会员中女性代表的比例增加了一倍（从 6%增至 13.1%）。同期，执行委员会成员（0%增至 20%）和官员（0%增至 50%）、SIR 年会演讲者（5.1%增至 15.4%）、JVIR 第一作者（10%增至 14.5%）和资深作者（7.1%增至 11.9%）中女性的代表比例也显著增加。2012 年至 2017 年，SIR 委员会主席（21%增至 28%）和 IRQ 作者（4.5%增至 27%）中女性的比例有所增加。然而，2008 年至 2017 年期间，女性介入放射科住院医师和研究员的比例没有显著变化（11%对 16.2%；P=.51）。
女性介入放射科医生在 SIR 中的代表性不足，仅占活跃介入放射科医师的 9.2%。在所评估的 SIR 大多数领域，女性的代表性都在稳步增加。尽管这些趋势令人欣慰，但鉴于介入放射学作为一个住院医师项目还处于起步阶段，需要努力增加女性在介入放射学领域的招聘和留用。
