AbstractAim: We assessed reporting of data on sex/gender and race/ethnicity in randomized controlled trials of interventions published in the highest-ranking anesthesiology journals from 2014 to 2017. Methods: We extracted data regarding terminology for sex/gender, proportion of participants according to the race/gender and race/ethnicity, and results shown for the race/gender and race/ethnicity. Results: Among the analyzed 732 trials, few stratified allocation of participants on the basis of sex/gender and race/ethnicity, few reported results for sex/gender or race/ethnicity and the outcomes reported may be influenced by one or both. Conclusion: In conclusion, outcomes of anesthesiology trials could be vulnerable to an important and avoidable source of bias; trialists need to pay more attention to sex and race/ethnicity when designing and reporting their studies.
