Yeah, the mortality rate of people in this condition (resting O2 levels in the 60-70%) is probably at least 50% 1-year mortality (half will die in the next year).
Which is not exactly the population this paper is trying to shed light on, but thanks for sharing his experience.
- aphextim 7y agoYeah he is in rough shape, to be honest we (doctors/wife/family) expected him to go when he was 75-76 or so. He has been hanging on that is for sure. I figure if I can extend his 1 year, to be even say 1 year and 6 months, it would be worth it. He has been on/off oxygen in the past and he's at that stage where he is waiting to kick the can, and is a very lucky man who has a wife of 66 years, who still takes care of him everyday. I can guarantee if his wife passed, he would go the next day and that he is holding on because he knows how much she loves him.
