Women are disproportionately underrepresented in American academic surgery and surgical society leadership; we investigated the proportion of speaking roles held by women across a wide variety of surgical society meetings.
Publicly-available data on invited speakers, panelists, and moderators at 23 national surgical societies' annual meetings from 2002 to 2019 were collected. Mixed effects logistic regression was used to evaluate the adjusted trend of gender representation over time for each role.
15.9% of invited speakers were women. Adjusted analysis showed an 8% increase in odds of having female speakers per year (OR1.08, p = 0.002, 95%CI 1.03-1.14). 24.4% of moderators and 22.5% of panelists were female; there was increasing trend in adjusted analysis for both moderators (OR1.09, p < 0.001, 95%CI 1.07-1.11) and panelists (OR1.13, p < 0.001, 95%CI 1.11-1.43).
There is a wide range in speaking roles held by women at surgical society meetings, but an encouraging trend towards greater parity was seen overall.
在美国的学术外科和外科协会领导层中，女性的代表性严重不足；我们调查了在 2002 年至 2019 年期间，各种外科协会会议中女性担任演讲角色的比例。
收集了 23 个全国性外科协会年会的特邀演讲者、小组成员和主持人的公开数据。使用混合效应逻辑回归来评估每个角色的性别代表性随时间的调整趋势。
15.9%的特邀演讲者是女性。调整分析显示，每年女性演讲者的比例增加了 8%（OR1.08，p=0.002，95%CI 1.03-1.14）。24.4%的主持人和 22.5%的小组成员是女性；调整分析显示主持人（OR1.09，p<0.001，95%CI 1.07-1.11）和小组成员（OR1.13，p<0.001，95%CI 1.11-1.43）的趋势都在增加。
女性在外科协会会议中担任演讲角色的范围很广，但总体上出现了令人鼓舞的平等趋势。
