Résumé / Abstract

Objective.-To define further the association between survival and clinical disabilities in profoundly disabled people with mental retardation in an 11-year period. Research Design.-An 11-year follow-up study of the survival of six mutually exclusive subgroups. The presence of severe, profound, or suspected mental retardation and incontinence were considered in all individuals when forming the subgroups. Varying combinations of abilities in mobility, rolling, feeding, and arm-hand use were also considered. Participants.-Six subgroups of severely disabled subjects. Included were 128248 of 155851 persons who received services from the California Department of Developmental Services between January 1980 and March 1991
