Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Unconscious bias can impact manner of speaker introductions in formal academic settings. We examined speaker introductions at the Society of Vascular Surgeons Annual Meeting to determine factors associated with non-professional address.
METHODS: We examined speaker introductions from the 2019 SVS Vascular Annual Meeting. Professional title with either full name or last name was considered professional address. Speaker and moderator demographics were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify associations between introduction and speaker and moderator characteristics.
RESULTS: 336 talks met inclusion criteria. Both speakers and moderators were more likely to be white (63.4 % and 65.8 %,p = 0.92), man (75.6 % and 74.4 %,p = 0.82) and full professor rank (34.5 % and 42.3 %, p < 0.001). On multivariable regression, non-professional address was associated with speaker rank of trainee (OR 3.13, p = 0.05) and when moderator was white (OR 2.42, p = 0.03).
CONCLUSIONS: This study emphasizes the potential negative impact of unconscious bias at a national meeting for vascular surgeons and the need to mitigate this effect at the organization level.

摘要：
目的：无意识的偏见会影响正式学术环境中说话人的介绍方式。我们检查了血管外科医师学会年会上的演讲者介绍，以确定与非专业地址相关的因素。
方法：我们检查了2019年SVS血管年会的演讲者介绍。具有全名或姓氏的专业头衔被视为专业地址。收集了演讲者和主持人的人口统计信息。进行了单变量和多变量逻辑回归分析，以确定介绍与说话者和主持人特征之间的关联。
结果：336次会谈符合纳入标准。演讲者和主持人都更有可能是白人(63.4%和65.8%，p=0.92)，男性（75.6%和74.4%，p=0.82)和正教授级别(34.5%和42.3%，p<0.001)。在多元回归中，非专业地址与受训者的演讲者等级相关(OR3.13，p=0.05)，当主持人为白人时(OR2.42，p=0.03)。
结论：这项研究强调了在全国血管外科医师会议上无意识偏见的潜在负面影响，以及在组织层面减轻这种影响的必要性。
