A nationwide survey of critical care anesthesiologists reveals that the cardiothoracic ICU is the most common practice setting and highlights potential, though not statistically significant, gender-based salary disparities.
Shaefi et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Critical care anesthesiologists (n=157). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Adjusted salary difference (MD -$27,479.79, 95% CI -57232.61 to 2273.03, p=.07). Female critical care anesthesiologists reported adjusted salaries $27,480 lower than male respondents (95% CI, -$57,233 to $2,273; P=0.07), a difference that was not statistically significant.
