Few data exist on overall survival for patients 80\u00a0years or older undergoing benign thyroid surgery. Short- and long-term survival and risk factors for death in patients undergoing thyroid surgery for benign disease were evaluated, using a nationwide, population-based quality register.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Patients operated for benign thyroid disease, 2004 to 2017, were collected from the national quality register for thyroid surgery. Mortality data were retrieved from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. Mortality at 30\u00a0days, 90\u00a0days, and 1\u00a0year after surgery, for patients 80\u00a0years or older, was calculated. Overall survival was calculated using the Kaplan\u2013Meier estimate.

The median (IQR) follow-up time was 4.5 (2.9\u20137.2) and the median (IQR) survival time was 8.0 (4.1\u201312.5) years. Apart from age, there was no other risk factor for death.
