To evaluate gender diversity over time within the leadership and honorees of the Society of Abdominal Radiology with comparison to other radiologic societies.
This was a retrospective, observational study of the gender distribution of presidents and gold meal awardees within the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) compared to three national radiology organizations: the American College of Radiology (ACR), the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Data were collected from the inception of each society through 2020. Societies were directly contacted for president and Gold Medal awardee names when this information was not available on society websites. Differences in the proportion of female presidents and Gold Medal awardees before and after 2012, by society, were performed using χ test; 2012 was selected as a threshold year as this represented when SAR was created.
The proportion of female past presidents was 5%, 9%, and 33% for the SGR, SUR, and SAR, respectively, and 5%, 4%, and 7% for the ACR, ARRS, and RSNA, respectively. The proportion of female Gold Medal awardees was 5%, 4%, and 10% for the SGR, SUR, and SAR, respectively, and 5%, 7%, and 7%, respectively, for ACR, ARRS, and RSNA. There was a statistically significant increase in the proportion of women presidents and honorees in all societies after 2012 compared to before 2012, but no significant difference between societies in either time period.
A higher proportion of female presidents and honorees were demonstrated across all societies after 2012.
通过与其他放射学学会相比，评估在时间推移过程中，学会内的领导和获奖者中的性别多样性。
这是一项回顾性、观察性研究，比较了放射学学会（SAR）的主席和金奖获得者的性别分布与三个全国性放射学组织（美国放射学会（ACR）、美国伦琴射线学会（ARRS）和北美放射学会（RSNA））。数据从每个学会成立时收集到 2020 年。当无法从学会网站上获得主席和金奖获得者的姓名时，直接联系学会以获取这些信息。使用 χ2 检验比较了 2012 年之前和之后不同学会中女性主席和金奖获得者的比例；选择 2012 年作为阈值年份，因为这代表 SAR 的创建时间。
过去女主席的比例分别为 SGR、SUR 和 SAR 的 5%、9%和 33%，而 ACR、ARRS 和 RSNA 的比例分别为 5%、4%和 7%。女金奖获得者的比例分别为 SGR、SUR 和 SAR 的 5%、4%和 10%，而 ACR、ARRS 和 RSNA 的比例分别为 5%、7%和 7%。与 2012 年之前相比，所有学会在 2012 年之后，女性主席和获奖者的比例都有统计学意义的增加，但在两个时间段内，各学会之间没有显著差异。
在 2012 年之后，所有学会中的女性主席和获奖者的比例都有所增加。
