Mortality and Causes of Death in Boys and Men Born With Hypospadias: A Swedish Population-Based Cohort Study
While mortality overall was low, hypospadias is associated with relatively increased mortality from infancy to middle age. In early childhood, this is related to prenatal and perinatal factors. In adolescence and adulthood, the risk of death due to cardiovascular and urological disease was increased, providing further insight into long-term health in this patient group.
