Effect of patient gender on the decision of ceiling of care: an European study of emergency physicians’ treatment decisions in simulated cases
This study suggests a significant gender-based disparity in emergency care decision-making, with women patients being less likely to receive recommendations for intubation. However, these results should be interpreted with caution due to potential limitations in the representativity of respondents and the uncertain applicability of survey responses to real-life clinical practice.
