On the basis of recent mortality rates, life expectancy in the VS is frequently higher than has generally been thought.

The authors found a strong secular trend in infant mortality, with rates in the mid-1990s being only one third of those in the early 1980s (P < 0.01). COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. The study participants were 1,021 California patients in the VS during 1981-1996.

The study participants were 1,021 California patients in the VS during 1981-1996. For most of the rest, life expectancy is about 2 to 5 years; only about 25% of patients live > 5 years.

Introduction. Increasing concern about children in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) prompted a survey of members of the Child Neurology Society regarding aspects of the diagnosis and management of this disorder. doi: 10.1016/s0887-8994(99)00051-x. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0186776. eCollection 2017.J Med Ethics. <> 2001 Mar 24;357(9260):917-21. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(00)04212-4.Wang H, Dwyer-Lindgren L, Lofgren KT, Rajaratnam JK, Marcus JR, Levin-Rector A, Levitz CE, Lopez AD, Murray CJ.Lancet.
