Trends in Patient-Surgeon Sex Concordance and Surgical Volume in Cataract Surgery: A 14-Year Retrospective Cohort Study
In this large longitudinal cohort, patient-surgeon sex concordance was modest and closely aligned with changes in surgeon productivity and workforce output. These findings suggest that sex-based productivity disparities are modifiable and that institutional factors related to surgical volume distribution may influence gender equity in ophthalmic surgical practice.
