Characteristics of Transgender and Gender-Diverse Youth Presenting for Surgery in the United States.
The number of adolescents and adults identifying as trans or gender-diverse is increasing. The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and "other" (LGBTQ+) population is recognized as a marginalized health care population. This retrospective study sought to investigate demographic trends in transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth accessing surgical care in the United States. ⋯ We reported the perioperative characteristics of TGD youth and showed a steady increase in the detected prevalence of TGD adolescents accessing surgical care. Future investigations into specific challenges associated with caring for these patients are warranted.
