Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Gender differences remain a serious issue in the gastroenterology field, which negatively affect the career success and academic advancement of female gastroenterologists. In this study, we aim to identify gender differences in the authors of global major Gastroenterology Society guidelines.
METHODS: We included six associations and collected guidelines published between 2003 and 2022. The genders of authors were determined and recorded for each guideline. Linear by linear association test was used to assess trends every 5 years.
RESULTS: We included 210 guidelines and 461 authors. The proportion of female first and senior authors was 11.3% and 9.8%, respectively. The number of female first and senior authors in most societies has improved over the past 20 years, with the largest increase in the AGA.
CONCLUSIONS: Women are still underrepresented among the authors of guidelines. Although gender differences have gained more attention in recent years, there are many obstacles to achieving gender equality.

摘要：
背景：性别差异在胃肠病学领域仍然是一个严重的问题，这对女性胃肠病学家的职业成功和学术进步产生了负面影响。在这项研究中,我们的目标是确定全球主要胃肠病学会指南作者中的性别差异.
方法：我们纳入了六个协会，并收集了2003年至2022年之间发布的指南。确定并记录每个指南的作者性别。线性关联检验用于每5年评估趋势。
结果：我们包括210个指南和461个作者。女性第一作者和高级作者的比例分别为11.3%和9.8%,分别。在过去的20年中，大多数社会中女性第一作者和高级作者的数量都有所增加，AGA增幅最大。
结论：在指南的作者中，女性的代表性仍然不足。尽管近年来性别差异得到了更多的关注，实现性别平等有许多障碍。
