Approximately 91% of urologists are male and 9% female. We aim to characterize gender differences amongst urology society awardees over the past six decades.
We queried 16 American urology societies. Inclusion criteria were active membership enrollment, majority urologist members, and awards provided at an annual, biennial or triennial basis.
Ten urology societies were included. Between 1963 and 2019, 848 awardees for 34 awards were identified. Men comprised 92.2% and women 7.8% of recipients. The highest percentage of women awardees per year (21.7%) occurred in 2018, increased from 6.5% in 2008 and 0% in 1998. Over the last 11 years, women received 0% of awards offered 61% of the time.
There is an increased trend in the representation of women awardees by urology societies, although the frequency varies widely between societies. This is in keeping with the trend of increasing number of women entering the field of urology.
约 91%的泌尿科医生为男性，9%为女性。我们旨在描述过去六十年中泌尿科协会获奖者的性别差异。
我们查询了 16 个美国泌尿科协会。入选标准为活跃会员注册、多数为泌尿科医生成员，以及每年、每两年或每三年颁发的奖项。
有 10 个泌尿科协会入选。1963 年至 2019 年间，共有 34 个奖项的 848 名获奖者。男性获奖者占 92.2%，女性获奖者占 7.8%。每年女性获奖者的比例最高（21.7%）出现在 2018 年，高于 2008 年的 6.5%和 1998 年的 0%。在过去的 11 年中，女性获奖者在颁奖的 61%时间里获得了 0%的奖项。
尽管各协会之间的差异很大，但泌尿科协会中女性获奖者的代表性呈上升趋势。这与越来越多的女性进入泌尿科领域的趋势一致。
