The survival rate of Edward's syndrome (trisomy 18) is low, with approximately 50% of affected infants not surviving beyond the first week of life. The majority of infants with trisomy 18 do not survive past their first year, with very few living into adulthood. The prognosis for individuals with Edward's syndrome is generally poor due to the significant physical and intellectual disabilities associated with the condition.
About the normal rate.
Edwards syndrome, also known as trisomy 18, is a genetic disorder that is often severe and can be life-threatening. Many babies born with Edwards syndrome have significant health problems and developmental delays, which can result in a shortened lifespan. The majority of babies with Edwards syndrome do not survive beyond the first year of life.

The cause of Edwards syndrome is and error in cell division, also known as meiotic disjunction. It can occur in 1 out of 2,500 pregnancies. Edwards syndrome goes by the term Trisomy 18 also.
Most children born with Edwards' syndrome appear weak and fragile, and they are often underweight
The exact number is not known, but Edwards' syndrome (Trisomy 18) is estimated to occur in about 1 in 5,000 live births. It is less common than Down syndrome.
