Gender-specific Emergency MedicineResearch: Overview and Opportunities
Sex and gender are now known to be critical variables that affect health and illness. There is a need for investiga-tions that analyze data according to sex and gender as this may affect patient outcomes and thereby change clinicalpractice. In this brief 30-minute video presentation, we review the effect that sex- and gender-specific research hashad on the field of emergency medicine (EM) and present concrete examples of current EM literature that methodi-cally study how sex and gender affect patient presentation, management, and outcomes for acute conditions com-mon to our specialty.
At the completion of this presentation, participants should be able to define sex- and gender-specific researchand its implications in the field of EM, provide concrete examples of current EM literature that successfully investi-gate sex and gender differences, and obtain analytical strategies to perform gender-based research in existingresearch data.
