Survival from all-cause mortality of all patients after aortic valve replacement (green line) compared with normal Danish population (orange line) and according to EuroSCOREII (ES2). Green and blue line are very overlapped. Survival for all patients at 1-, 5-, 10- and 15-year from was 93, 77, 52 and 24%, respectively. The 5-, 10-, and 15-year survival for low-risk patients was 78, 52 and 25%, respectively, and for ES2 ≥ 4, 63 and 39% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. The survival of the matched background population in Denmark was 81, 57 and 32% after 5-, 10- and 15-years, respectively
