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

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).

Trisomy 13: Patau syndrome affects around 0.81 per 10,000, but about 1 in 12,340 live births. Median survival time is 7 to 10 days. Very rarely children have survived into their second decade.
