Description
Miriam Veenhuizen and Andrew O'Malley review measured differences in treatment between male and female patients, in two thousand twenty-six. Inequality by sex and gender is known across medicine. Far more work has studied gaps among health workers than gaps in the care patients actually receive.
The review gathered studies from two thousand eighteen to two thousand twenty-three that measured care directly. Most of the included case series found a clear gap in treatment between men and women. The same held for most studies that adjusted for other factors. The authors contrast the small set of patient studies with hundreds on worker gaps, and call the topic an unmet research need.
