Long-Term Mortality After Cholecystectomy in a Nationwide Cohort of Swedish Individuals Between 1969 and 2016
In a nationwide, Swedish cohort, we observed that cholecystectomy at younger age was associated with higher long-term mortality, potentially influenced by higher alcohol use and smoking. The inverse association among individuals >50 years of age may reflect better underlying health of individuals selected for cholecystectomy.
