Swedish surgical outcomes study (SweSOS): An observational study on 30-day and 1-year mortality after surgery

CONCLUSION: Mortality rate increased almost five-fold at 1 year compared with 30-day mortality after surgery, demonstrating a significantly sustained long-term risk of death in this surgical population. In Sweden, factors associated with long-term postoperative mortality were age, number of comorbidities and surgical urgency.
