Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: United States\' clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are often produced by professional societies and used worldwide in daily medical practice. However, studies in various medical specialties demonstrate underrepresentation of women and racial and ethnic minority groups in CPGs. The representation of authors by gender, race, and ethnicity of US pathology CPGs has not been previously evaluated.
UNASSIGNED: To assess if women and individuals from racial and ethnic minority groups are underrepresented as authors of pathology CPGs.
UNASSIGNED: The gender, race, ethnicity, and terminal degrees of authors of 18 CPGs from the College of American Pathologists were coded by using photographs and other available information online and compared to their representation in academic pathology per Association of American Medical Colleges benchmark data.
UNASSIGNED: Two hundred seventy-five author positions (202 physician author positions) were analyzed. Women overall (119 of 275; 43.3%) and women physicians (65 of 202; 32.2%) held fewer positions than all men and men physicians. Women physicians were significantly underrepresented in physician author positions, while White men physicians were significantly overrepresented in all, first, senior, and corresponding authorship roles when compared to the proportion of women and White men physicians among pathology faculty, respectively. Asian men and women physicians were underrepresented as compared to their representation among pathology faculty.
UNASSIGNED: Men, particularly White men physicians, are overrepresented among pathology CPG author positions, while women physicians and some physicians from racial and ethnic minority groups are underrepresented. Further research is needed to understand the impact of these findings on the careers of underrepresented physicians and the content of guidelines.

摘要：
■美国临床实践指南（CPG）通常由专业协会制定，并在全球范围内用于日常医疗实践。然而,各种医学专业的研究表明，妇女以及种族和少数族裔群体在CPG中的代表性不足。按性别分列的作者代表，种族,以前尚未评估美国病理CPG的种族。
■评估女性和来自种族和少数族裔群体的个人作为病理学CPG作者的代表性是否不足。
■性别，种族,种族,通过使用照片和其他在线可用信息对来自美国病理学家学院的18个CPG的作者的最终学位进行编码，并根据美国医学院协会的基准数据与他们在学术病理学中的代表进行比较。
■分析了二百七十五个作者职位（202个医师作者职位）。总体上，女性（275人中有119人；43.3％）和女性医生（202人中有65人；32.2％）的职位少于所有男性和男性医生。女医生在医生撰稿人职位中的代表性明显不足，虽然白人男性医生的比例明显偏高，首先,高级,和相应的作者角色相比，女性和白人男性医生在病理学教师中的比例，分别。与在病理学学院中的代表相比，亚洲男女医生的代表人数不足。
■男人，尤其是白人医生，在病理学CPG作者职位中代表过多，而女医生和一些来自种族和少数民族的医生代表不足。需要进一步的研究来了解这些发现对代表性不足的医生的职业和指南内容的影响。
