Description
Lisa Bearpark and co-authors compare life expectancy loss by sex after aortic valve surgery for infective endocarditis in Sweden, in a 2026 register study. Their cohort held 2,585 patients operated between 1997 and 2022, drawn from national registers including SWEDEHEART, with about a fifth women.
Women were older at surgery, carried more other conditions and had more added valve work than men, and died more often over a mean seven years of follow-up. Life expectancy loss hit the young hardest, reaching about fifteen years for a 50-year-old woman in their estimates. After standardisation, women showed higher net survival than men, a contrast the authors explore for care planning.
