Description
Tina Rosland and co-authors compare death risk after womb surgery by self report versus hospital records in Norway in 2026. Removal of the womb or both ovaries may affect later death risk. Past studies lean on self report, which can bias results. The team links a large population cohort to death, cancer, and hospital records.
More than thirty seven thousand women were followed to late 2020. Hospital records linked womb removal to a lower death hazard. Self report for the same surgery showed no link at all. Ovary removal showed a like split between sources. Early ovary removal, before age fifty, did link to higher death risk in hospital data. Source choice may explain past mixed results.
