Study in the news (Canada) https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Angela-Jerath/publication/356887012_Association_of_Surgeon-Patient_Sex_Concordance_With_Postoperative_Outcomes/links/61b2bb4c358cc06c3f9a801b/Association-of-Surgeon-Patient-Sex-Concordance-With-Postoperative-Outcomes.pdf
Other studies of note:
USA study of surgery – didn’t find a link between sex of patients/surgeons and outcomes (but found the older surgeons have lower mortality rates) also found here
Canadian study comparing male and female surgeons outcomes (better as elective, no difference in emergency)
US study of heart attacks in male/female patients and male/female physicians – females do less well when treated by males
big issues in general:
inequity of entry into trials for women and here
heart attacks and differences in treatments
appointments for dementia care
differences in perceptions male/female patients of care
