This study attempted to re-evaluate predictors of mortality based on a large sample of mentally retarded individuals. Additionally, mortality rates were compared among several types of placements including institutions after controlling for the most salient predictors of death. The findings indicated that non-mobility and the need for medical support add to the risk of an early death for these children, and are significant indicators of mortality, regardless of level of retardation and placement.
本研究试图基于大量智障个体样本重新评估死亡率的预测因素。此外，在控制了最显著的死亡预测因素后，对包括机构安置在内的几种安置类型的死亡率进行了比较。研究结果表明，行动不便和对医疗支持的需求会增加这些儿童早死的风险，并且是死亡率的重要指标，无论其智障程度和安置类型如何。
