Retrospectively, the data was 1.3 million Canadian Surveyed women who had an operation between 2007 and 2019. The results are alarming: According to the published in JAMA Surgery magazine study women have a 15 percent higher risk of complications following surgery if the procedure was performed by a man. The risk of death is even increased by 32 percent.
Results “worrying”
For Dr. Angela Jerath, professor and clinical epidemiologist at the University of Toronto in Canada and co-author of the study, are these results «worrying», da is «There should be no gender differences in treatment outcomes» she agreed The Guardian.
The study addresses a problem that has only recently been discussed: the so-called gender data gap in medicine. Because until now the discipline has been largely dominated by men. The drugs were tested on them and therapies were tried out. And the medical profession was also largely male. Only gradually does the realization gain acceptance that a heart attack, for example, causes completely different symptoms in a woman than in a man.
