abstract: 'Purpose: Gender disparities in healthcare are striking, notwithstanding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an increase in female students and physicians. Underrepresentation of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women in leadership positions is well-documented; however, information
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fromlowand middle-income countries (LMICs) is still sparse. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Argentinian Society of Intensive Care Medicine (SATI) aimed to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characterize the gender composition in Argentine ICUs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods and results: Between 8/1/2018 and 1/1/2019, 131 questionnaires
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were submitted to ICU Department Chairs of SATI research networks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gender distribution of the different staffing levels, board
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
certification and hospital characteristics were recorded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One-hundred and four were completed, including 2186 physicians; 44\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were female. Female participation decreased with highest responsibility:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
only 23\% of Department Chairs were female (P = .002 vs. the rest of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
staffing categories, adjusted for multiple comparisons). Residents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exhibited the highest proportion of female physicians (47\%). Board
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
certification was similar for both sexes (62.3\% vs. 62.2\%, P=. 97).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Female/male distribution in public and private hospitals was 47\%/53\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and 40/60\% (P < .01), respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: Our data provide evidence of an important gender gap in ICU
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
management in a LMIC. Women were poorly represented in the leadership
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positions, although qualifications were similar to men. Moreover, female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
physicians worked more frequently in the public health subsector,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
usually underfinanced in LMICs-a surrogate of a gender pay gap. (C) 2019
