The distribution of millisecond pulsars, just as normal pulsars, is affected by a death line. Since a large fraction of millisecond pulsars lie close to the derived death line, a significant number of neutron stars may exist which are not observed as millisecond pulsars. This makes the birth rate discrepancy between millisecond pulsars and their assumed low mass x-ray binary progenitors more acute.
