To report female representation within the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) at all levels of career achievement over 50 years.
Data were extrapolated from published ASOPRS directories and the 50th anniversary booklet. Fellowship, membership, leadership, and awards data were evaluated over 5 decades. Comparisons were made between the first and second 25 years, proportions of early and late career achievements, and time to career progression between males and females.
During the first decade, 5.6% of ASOPRS fellows were female (n = 2), which rose to 6.6% (n = 8), 17.6% (n = 32), 22.4% (n = 35), and 39.4% (n = 97) in the second, third, fourth, and fifth decades, respectively. These patterns were echoed in ASOPRS membership. When comparing the first half (1969-1994) to the second half (1995-2018), fellowship (10.5% vs. 30.0%, p < 0.001), membership (8.0% vs. 30.3%, p < 0.001), early career awards (5.6% vs. 28.9%, p = 0.047), program directorship (0.0% vs. 15.7%, p = 0.017), and executive committee female representation (4.5% vs. 16.8%, p < 0.001) increased significantly. However, females were proportionally underrepresented as program directors (p = 0.003), late career award winners (p = 0.001), executive committee members (p < 0.001), and presidents (p = 0.020). Among those reaching leadership positions, females took longer than males to become program directors by a median of 4 years (p = 0.025).
There has been a steady increase in female representation in ASOPRS fellowship training and membership. While significant progress has been made, growth in female leadership and award recognition is still needed.
报告美国眼科整形重建外科学会（ASOPRS）在 50 多年职业生涯的各个层面上女性代表的情况。
从 ASOPRS 发布的目录和 50 周年纪念册中提取数据。对 fellowship、membership、leadership 和 awards 数据进行了 5 个十年的评估。对前 25 年和后 25 年进行了比较，对早期和晚期职业成就的比例以及男女之间职业发展的时间进行了比较。
在第一个十年中，ASOPRS 研究员中有 5.6%（n=2）是女性，随后分别上升至 6.6%（n=8）、17.6%（n=32）、22.4%（n=35）和 39.4%（n=97），分别在第二、三、四和第五个十年。ASOPRS 会员的情况也反映了这一趋势。将前半部分（1969-1994 年）与后半部分（1995-2018 年）进行比较，fellowship（10.5%对 30.0%，p<0.001）、membership（8.0%对 30.3%，p<0.001）、早期职业奖（5.6%对 28.9%，p=0.047）、项目主任（0.0%对 15.7%，p=0.017）和执行委员会女性代表（4.5%对 16.8%，p<0.001）显著增加。然而，女性在项目主任（p=0.003）、晚期职业奖获得者（p=0.001）、执行委员会成员（p<0.001）和主席（p=0.020）的比例上仍然代表性不足。在那些达到领导地位的人中，女性成为项目主任的时间中位数比男性长 4 年（p=0.025）。
ASOPRS fellowship培训和会员中女性代表人数稳步增加。虽然已经取得了重大进展，但仍需要增加女性在领导和奖项方面的认可。
