In 2019 we should have known better. As the Covid crisis swept the world, the engine of medical research started to hum. The output was enormous. In a systematic study published in the journal “BMJ Global Health” in 2021, researchers looked back at studies in the first year after the start of the pandemic from the perspective of gender medicine. They broke down how sex and gender aspects were integrated and reported in Covid studies. The SAGER guidelines (Sex and Gender Equity in Research) developed in previous studies served as a reference. The bottom line: gender differences were not adequately analyzed, and women were underrepresented in most studies. In most cases, the results were not broken down by gender.
