Background: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a rare, but serious complication in patients with acute leukemia. Little is known about why some patients experience serious bleeding, including ICH, while others do not.
Materials And Methods: Adults between 18 and 80 years old with acute leukemia and ICH between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2016 were included.
Introduction: Given the need to increase female representation in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery, as well as the need to increase the academic pipeline of women in this subspecialty, we sought to characterize the prevalence of female authorship in the HPB literature. In particular, the objective of the current study was to determine the proportion of women who published HPB research articles as first, second, or last author over the last decade.
Methods: All articles pertaining to hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) surgery appearing in seven surgical journals (Annals of Surgery, British Journal of Surgery, JAMA Surgery, Annals of Surgical Oncology, HPB (Oxford), Surgery, and Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery) were reviewed for the years 2008 and 2018.
