There is little available literature on survival data in the form of lifetables for babies born with anencephaly. These data would be valuable in advising parents, who often request very specific information on the length of time their child might survive. Survival is examined for a cohort of anencephalic infants in a well-defined population. Sex-specific survival tables are given, since these are the most practical to use for counselling purposes. These data show that over 40 percent of liveborn anencephalic infants (51% males; 34% females) survive longer than 24 hours, and of these, 5 percent are still alive on the seventh day. Data also are presented on the types of malformations observed in addition to anencephaly.
关于无脑儿出生后以生命表形式呈现的生存数据，现有文献极少。这些数据对于为父母提供建议很有价值，因为父母常常会要求获得关于其孩子可能存活时长的非常具体的信息。我们在一个明确界定的人群中对一组无脑儿婴儿的生存情况进行了研究。给出了按性别划分的生存表，因为这些表格在咨询用途方面最为实用。这些数据表明，超过40%的活产无脑儿婴儿（男性为51%；女性为34%）存活时间超过24小时，其中5%在第七天仍然存活。还给出了除无脑儿之外观察到的畸形类型的数据。
