Comparative StudySurvival with Rett syndrome: comparing Rett's original sample with data from the Australian Rett Syndrome Database.
rett syndrome is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that typically affects females. Little is known about the natural history and survival time of these females. ⋯ our data indicate that survival of females with Rett syndrome has improved since the late 1960s but that there has been shown no change in survival over the last 30 years, possibly because the follow-up time has been too short.
