The expected survival after surgery is uncertain. The goal of this study was to compare mortality in people with aortic surgery with matched controls.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>All patients undergoing ascending aortic surgery at Ume\u00e5 University Hospital from 1988 to 2012, who previously participated in 1 of 3 population-based health surveys, were matched to 2 randomly selected controls from the same health survey and followed until death or until censoring on 24 August 2017, whichever came first. Mortality was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. Cox regression analyses were made for all-cause mortality, adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Deaths during the first 90 days after surgery and at &amp;gt;90 days postoperatively were studied separately.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The median follow-up time was 9.2 years. A total of 61 of 189 patients and 51 of 370 controls died [hazard ratio (HR) 2.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.91\u20134.01]. Mortality was increased during the first 90 days post-surgery (HR 43.4, 95% CI 5.83\u2013323), as well as after the first 90 days (HR 1.90, 95% CI 1.25\u20132.88) and after acute surgery (HR 6.05, 95% CI 2.92\u201312.56) as well as after elective surgery (HR 2.10, 95% CI 1.35\u20133.27). Among 57 surgical patients with information about cause of death, 23 (40%) died of aortic disease.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>During follow-up, more patients died than matched controls.
