Abstract：
Objective: To characterize the trends in female representation in the endourology fellowship match compared with the urology residency match. Materials and Methods: Available deidentified match data from 2017 to 2022 was obtained from the American Urological Association and Endourology Society annual census data. We evaluated gender-specific participation in the urology residency and endourology fellowship match and compared differences in the trends over the last 6 years. Results: Between the years 2017 and 2021, there were a total of 313 applicants for a fellowship in endourology, and of those, only 8.6% were women. In that same time period, a significantly larger number of women (27.1%) participated in the urology residency match (p = 0.0002). When specifically examining the endourology applicant trend, there is no significant increase in participation (R = 0.7, p = 0.35) between 2017 and 2021, as compared with the significant increase in total number of applicants (R = 7.1, p = 0.04). However, in the urology match, there has been a constant and significant increase in both female (R = 13.7, p = 0.03) and total applicants (R = 27, p = 0.04) between 2017 and 2022. Conclusions: Although there has been an overall increase in the number of applicants to urology, the number of women in endourology fellowship has not increased at a commensurate rate. In light of these findings, it is the responsibility of the endourology community to identify social and systemic barriers for women in this field and advocate for change.
摘要：
目的：与泌尿科住院医师匹配相比，在腔内泌尿科研究金匹配中表征和趋势女性代表。
方法：从美国泌尿外科协会（AUA）和EndourologySociety的年度人口普查数据中获得了2017年至2022年的可用去识别匹配数据。我们评估了在泌尿外科住院医师和腔内泌尿外科研究金匹配中的性别参与，并比较了过去6年趋势的差异。
结果：在2017年至2021年之间，共有313名申请人获得了内脏学研究金，其中只有8.6%是女性。在同一时期,参加泌尿外科住院医师匹配的女性人数明显增多(27.1%)(p=P<0.01).当特别检查内分泌申请人趋势时，与申请总人数显著增加(R=7.1,p=0.04)相比,2017年至2021年参与人数没有显著增加(R=0.7,p=0.35).然而,在泌尿科比赛中，在2017年至2022年期间,女性(R=13.7,p=0.03)和总申请人(R=27,p=0.04)均持续显著增加.
结论：虽然申请泌尿外科的人数总体上有所增加，在内分泌研究金的妇女人数没有以相应的速度增加。根据这些发现,确定妇女在这一领域的社会和系统障碍并倡导变革是内分泌界的责任。
