The 30-year survival rate approximates 87 per cent. Adverse factors affecting survival are the type of cerebral palsy (spastic quadriplegia having the worst prognosis), epilepsy and severe or profound mental retardation. The length of time over which the data were collected precludes estimating survival time beyond 30 years.
