BACKGROUND
Speaker gender representation at medical conferences is a significant site of gender disparity. Our primary objective was to quantify the proportion of female speakers and compare plenary session opportunities by gender at the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) Annual Conference.
METHODS
Data from the 2017-2021 NANS Annual Conference presentations were abstracted. Primary outcomes included gender composition of speaker slots, gender composition of individual speakers, and comparison of plenary speaker slots by gender. Secondary outcomes included comparisons of session size, age, professional degree, and number of presentations per speaker based on gender.
RESULTS
Gender composition of annual speaker slots was (% slots presented by women): 2017:14.6%; 2018:20.5%; 2019:23.5%; 2020:21.0%; 2021:41.4%. Annual gender composition of individual speakers was (% women): 2017:18.7%; 2018:20.6%; 2019:24.6%; 2020:24.9%; 2021:33.8%. Of all speaker slots, the percentage of plenary slots did not differ based on gender, with 11.4% presented by female speakers versus 11.2% presented by male speakers (OR 1.0, 95% CI 0.7-1.5, P=0.893). Compared to male speaker slots, there was an association of lower age (43.9±5.6 vs 50.8±8.9, P<0.001), lower odds of holding a single doctorate degree (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.2-0.5, P<0.001), and lower odds of holding a dual MD/PhD or DO/PhD degree (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.5, P<0.001) in female speaker slots. Compared to male speakers, there was an association of higher number of presentations per female speaker at the 2021 NANS Annual Meeting (2.48±1.60 vs 1.79±1.30, P=0.008).
CONCLUSION
Although the volume of female speaker slots and individual speakers trailed behind their male counterparts, female speaker representation steadily increased at each subsequent annual NANS meeting. We identified no difference in plenary session slots based on gender.
背景
医学会议上演讲者的性别比例是性别差异的一个重要体现。我们的主要目标是量化北美神经调节学会（NANS）年会中女性演讲者的比例，并按性别比较全体会议的机会。
方法
提取了2017 - 2021年NANS年会演讲的相关数据。主要结果包括演讲时段的性别构成、演讲者个人的性别构成以及按性别比较全体会议演讲时段。次要结果包括按性别比较会议规模、年龄、专业学位以及每位演讲者的演讲次数。
结果
年度演讲时段的性别构成（女性所占时段百分比）为：2017年：14.6%；2018年：20.5%；2019年：23.5%；2020年：21.0%；2021年：41.4%。演讲者个人的年度性别构成（女性所占百分比）为：2017年：18.7%；2018年：20.6%；2019年：24.6%；2020年：24.9%；2021年：33.8%。在所有演讲时段中，全体会议时段的比例在性别上没有差异，女性演讲者占11.4%，男性演讲者占11.2%（比值比1.0，95%置信区间0.7 - 1.5，P = 0.893）。与男性演讲时段相比，女性演讲时段的年龄较低（43.9±5.6岁对50.8±8.9岁，P < 0.001），拥有单一博士学位的几率较低（比值比0.3，95%置信区间0.2 - 0.5，P < 0.001），拥有医学博士/哲学博士或医学博士/哲学博士双学位的几率较低（比值比0.3，95%置信区间0.1 - 0.5，P < 0.001）。与男性演讲者相比，在2021年NANS年会上每位女性演讲者的演讲次数较多（2.48±1.60次对1.79±1.30次，P = 0.008）。
结论
尽管女性演讲时段和女性演讲者的数量落后于男性，但在随后的每一届NANS年会上，女性演讲者的占比都在稳步增加。我们发现全体会议时段在性别上没有差异。
