Abstract：
The percentage of female physicians has grown significantly in past decades, with women currently making up 56% of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine\'s board-certified membership.
We aimed to describe trends in the gender of invited speakers at postgraduate courses, panels, and debates at the annual meetings of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine over the last 2 decades.
We performed a retrospective observational study examining annual meetings of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine in 1999, 2009, and 2015-2019. Invited speakers were identified through publicly available programs and examined by gender, degree, and the session of involvement. Postgraduate lectures (including courses, workshops, and forums), panels, and debates were examined. Speakers with Medicinae Doctor (or equivalent) degrees and obstetrics and gynecology training were included.
Among the 3 time points 1999, 2009, and 2019, there were 330 speaker slots. There was a significant difference in gender representation in the 3 time points; female representation was 25% in 1999, 21.5% in 2009, and 55.7% in 2019 (P<.001). There were significantly higher odds of having a female speaker in 2019 than in 2009 (odds ratio, 4.58; 95% confidence interval, 2.40-8.72; P<.001). Between 2015 and 2019, 813 speaker slots were identified, with a significant positive correlation between increasing year and increasing female representation (correlation coefficient=0.099; P=.005). When controlling for type of session, there were higher odds of having a female speaker with a later year (adjusted odds ratio, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-1.28; P=.003). There was a significant difference in gender representation among different sessions (P=.028), with females listed in 51.2% of lecture slots but only 42.4% of panels and 38.0% of debates. Male moderators resulted in an average female representation of 29.8%±23.7% in a given session, whereas female moderators and a combination of both genders as moderators had average female representations of 71.6%±25.0% and 43.3%±19.4%, respectively, in a given session (P<.001). There was no correlation between the gender of the postgraduate course chair and either moderator or speaker gender.
There was a significant increase in the percentage of speaker slots allocated to females over the past 2 decades, a trend that moves toward reflecting the gender composition of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine membership.

摘要：
在过去的几十年中，女医生的比例显着增长，女性目前占母胎医学会董事会认证会员的56%。
我们旨在描述研究生课程中受邀演讲者的性别趋势，面板,以及在过去20年中母胎医学学会年度会议上的辩论。
我们进行了一项回顾性观察性研究，检查了1999年、2009年和2015-2019年母胎医学学会的年度会议。通过公开的方案确定了特邀发言者，并按性别进行了审查，学位,和参与会议。研究生讲座(包括课程，工作坊,和论坛)，面板,并对辩论进行了审查。包括具有Medicinae博士（或同等学历）学位和妇产科培训的演讲者。
在1999年，2009年和2019年的3个时间点中，有330个扬声器插槽。3个时间点的性别代表性存在显着差异；1999年女性代表性为25％，2009年为21.5％，2019年为55.7％（P<0.001）。2019年女性演讲者的几率明显高于2009年(赔率比，4.58；95%置信区间，2.40-8.72;P<.001)。在2015年至2019年之间，确定了813个扬声器插槽，增加年份和增加女性代表之间存在显着正相关（相关系数=0.099；P=.005）。控制会话类型时，晚年有女性演讲者的几率更高(调整后的赔率比，1.16；95%置信区间，1.05-1.28；P=.003）。不同会话之间的性别代表性存在显着差异(P=.028)，女性在51.2%的演讲时段，但在小组和38.0%的辩论中只有42.4%的女性。男性主持人在给定的会议中平均女性代表为29.8％±23.7％，而女性主持人和男女主持人的平均女性代表比例为71.6%±25.0%和43.3%±19.4%，分别,在给定的会话中(P<.001)。研究生课程主持人的性别与主持人或演讲者的性别之间没有相关性。
在过去的20年中，分配给女性的演讲者席位的百分比显着增加，这是一种趋势，正朝着反映母胎医学协会成员的性别组成的方向发展。
