Hi Jean, Is there not the very recent Australian study that looks at 1000s of kids? I just did some statistical calculation for a sample size of 100. The statistical sample error (or standard deviation) is roughly 4%. That means that with 68% probability the true (or population) natural recovery rate is between 75% and 85%. As you said, it does also depend on how you define stuttering and recovery.
