Abstract
Introduction
The increasing entry of women into urology underscores the need to evaluate academic representation and characterize ongoing disparities within the specialty. This study provides a comprehensive global assessment of gender representation in urologic literature over time by study design, journal type, and geographic region.
Methods
All PubMed database abstracts under "Urology"[MeSH] or "Urology" (January 2002 to January 2024) were evaluated. Authorship position, institutional affiliation country, and journal name were extracted. Descriptive statistics and inferential tests were performed to assess gender-based differences in publication characteristics through validated name-to-gender matching tools.
