摘要

用于指导医疗决策的临床算法通常将性别作为一个变量。然而，对性和/或性别的二元考虑可能会带来偏差，因为对性和性别特有的生理、激素和暴露的假设可能不准确。在使用临床算法以确保不同人群的健康公平时，必须对性和性别采取注重公平的方法。

Considerations of sex as a binary variable in clinical algorithms

Clinical algorithms that are used to guide medical decision-making often include sex as a variable. However, binary considerations of sex and/or gender might introduce bias due to potentially inaccurate assumptions about sex and gender-specific physiology, hormones and exposures. An equity-focused approach to sex and gender is essential when using clinical algorithms to ensure health equity across populations.
