We compared observed and expected survival at 15\u2009years of follow-up and estimated the cumulative incidence of death from a competing risks point of view. We stratified by sex and analysed if being a woman was an independent risk factor for death.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For men, the observed survival at 10 and 15\u2009years of follow-up was 85% [95% confidence interval (CI) 83.6%\u201386.4%] and 72.3% (95% CI 69.7%\u201374.7%), respectively whereas the expected survival was 88.1% and 78.8%.

At 15\u2009years of follow-up, the cumulative incidence of death due to the disease in men and women was 8.2% and 16.7%, respectively.
