Comparison of in-hospital outcomes and processes of care by patient and physician sex: a single-centre retrospective cohort study

Nevertheless, disparities by patient sex persisted, underscoring the need for sex-disaggregated quality monitoring and sex-sensitive medical training.

Abstract

In a European tertiary teaching hospital with universal healthcare coverage, in-hospital outcomes and processes of care did not differ by physician sex or patient-physician sex interaction. Nevertheless, disparities by patient sex persisted, underscoring the need for sex-disaggregated quality monitoring and sex-sensitive medical training.
