10-15% of Dravet patients die from SUDEP, mainly in childhood.

This isn't a black and white answer. Studies have shown that there is around an 80% chance that children on the severe side of dravet will make it to adulthood. For less severe cases, the percentage is higher.

From what I read there is an 80% chance of making it to adult. But I think it really depends on how well the child or adult is taken care of I believe it depends on if they get their medications on time if their head is protected at all times if they're watching the heat in the cold that they're going in and out of. The less amount of seizures they have the better chance they have to make it to adulthood.
