Question 1

does peripheral neuropathy reduce your lifespan?

Accepted Answer

Not in itself: Neuropathy can increase yor risk of an ulcer or infection in your foot, but this risk can be minimized by performing daily skin checks of your feet.  Imbalance from neuropathy can also increase your risk of fall.  The underlying condition responsible for your neuropathy (like diabetes)  is more likely to shorten your lifespan than neuropathy itself.  It is a nuisance and a burden nonetheless.

Question 2

what is the average lifespan of someone with trisomy 13, patau syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Lifespan: In my clinical experience of 31 years practicing neonatal medicine, i would have to answer your question with a vague response. This is because each affected child does not necessarily have the same degree of affliction. The literature on this tells us that 99.9% die before a year of age. I have not seen one survive longer than two months, and I have seen many.

Question 3

what is the average lifespan of someone with aortic stenosis if not corrected?

Accepted Answer

Depends on symptoms: Patients with uncorrected aortic stenosis have a poor survival: half of the patients that develop angina (chest pain) will die within 5 years,  half of the patients that develop syncope (passing out) will die within 3 years, and half of the patients that develop heart failure will die within 2 years. Aortic valve replacement can pretty much normalize the life span and improve symptoms markedly.

Question 4

which is the average lifespan of a person with diabetes?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on whether this is type i or type ii diabetes and how well controlled it is. It also depends on the age of the individual at the time of onset of the diabetes.There is no absolute answer to your question.

Question 5

Question 6

what is the average lifespan of a someone that has survived an aortic dissection?

Question 7

Question 8

what is the average lifespan of patients with sjogrens syndrome ?

Accepted Answer

Essentially normal: With appropriate treatment should be essentially normal.

Question 9

what would be the average lifespan of someone with aortic stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Slight stenosis and minimal pressure gradient can be tolerated for a long time.
Example congenital bicuspid valve patients  can be aged.
Once symptomatic aortic stenosis with syncope, angina, heart failure, the historic data suggest less than a year survival.
That's why these patients are identified by murmur, echo and treated surgically.

Question 10

what is the average lifespan of baby born with trisomy 13, patau syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Days/weeks.: Stillbirth (see picture) is very common. Of liveborns, 80% of affected infants die within the first month of life; only 5% survive the first six months. Severe intellectual disability, seizures, and failure to thrive are noticeable in survivors over 1 year of age. No interventions for fetal benefit are ethically justifiable during pregnancy (no cesarean section, no fetal monitoring indicated).
