Women with same health conditions as men 'less likely to be offered treatment'

From what I understand, the methodology is pretty questionable. Essentially they looked for studies mentioning "gender bias" or "discrimination" in their abstracts, and collected the results. This means that they inherited the publication bias of research on discrimination- no discrimination found, less chances the results would be published. Most of the research in the field of course focused on groups perceived as disadvantaged, so there's a further publication bias against fundings going in the "wrong" direction.

It is pretty upsetting to read. There should be women lawyers going after these institutions or nothing will change.

"Men with Parkinson’s were more likely to be referred for deep brain stimulation, while those with liver failure were more likely to receive a transplant than women. Female kidney patients requiring dialysis were less likely to be given permanent access and had to spend longer using a catheter."

I'm not familiar with the matter, and this might be a touchy subject, but, I've heard of studies saying that men seek medical help with a higher threshold than women. Does that affect the doctors' priors? (Article is also behind paywall). I realize people with an agenda might use similar arguments, but if you assume I'm not having any.
