Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how sex and gender are considered in acute care trials and whether there have been changes in reporting practices since the 2016 guidelines on sex and gender equity in research.
- The systematic review included 88 trials published in major medical journals, finding that the representation of female participants was low at 34.2%, and only 28.4% reported race or ethnicity, predominantly featuring white and male participants.
- Results revealed limited use of sex and gender-based analysis (SGBA), with cardiovascular trials performing better than ICU trials, indicating a significant need for improvement in inclusivity and reporting practices in clinical research.*
