Sex-Related Differences in Life Expectancy Compared to General Population after Surgery for Ascending Aortic Aneurysm.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Understanding sex-based differences in cardiovascular outcomes is paramount to improving clinical outcomes. Surgery is an aggressive but effective therapy for ascending aortic aneurysm. We sought to determine if being a woman is a risk factor for long-term mortality after this surgery. We compared their life expectancy with a general population of the same age, sex, year, and region. Methods: We compared men and women undergoing AAA surgery at our institution from 2000 to 2019. After balancing the population with propensity score (PS) matching, we compared long-term mortality control with a Cox regression. We determined the RS using the Ederer II method and compared it to a healthy reference population of the same age, sex, and region. Results: F
