We found that women physicians were underrepresented as authors of AAN CPGs. This suggests a missed opportunity for neurology as CPGs that include expertise from women physicians may improve care and translation into practice. Additionally, women physicians lose out on professional development from authorship. Further research is needed to understand causality and address gaps.
