Gender disparities in physician-industry relationships remain poorly characterized in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. We analyzed the Open Payments database data (2018-2024) for United States obstetricians and gynecologists (OBGYNs). Gender was inferred using Social Security Administration datasets. Among 44 939 OBGYNs receiving 1 777 781 payments totalling $240 001 147, 59.3% were female. Female physicians received significantly lower cash payments per transaction (-$227.7). Among top 100 earners, only 28.0% were female. Disparities persisted across all subspecialties and geographic regions, although the female payment proportion increased over time (P < 0.001). In conclusion, substantial gender disparities exist in industry payments to OBGYNs, with female physicians receiving significantly lower compensation despite representing most payment recipients.
