This analysis identifies conditions with high mortality that disproportionately affect women to inform public health resource allocation. Leveraging informatics methodologies to generate a normalized sex mortality ratio and establish a cause-specific mortality proportion for females, we identified Alzheimer's/dementia and breast cancer as conditions of interest. We then assessed the publication frequency on these conditions in a database of CDC-authored publications and quantified, by topic, the amount of policy citations received by these publications.
