Intersex people make up 1.7-4% of the population of North America. A recent scoping review of emergency department (ED) relevant literature for the care of sexual and gender minorities found almost no representation of this population. Intersex people have unique equity, diversity, and inclusion needs in the ED, so we undertook a review of international guidelines to identify ED-relevant recommendations. ⋯ A systematic review of the literature for ED-relevant guidelines for the care of Intersex populations returned no results. Given the risk of increasing barriers to care for intersex people, and the increasing use of the ED for primary care, the requirements of Intersex people need to be investigated and integrated into future development of a CPG for care of sexual and gender minority populations in the ED.
