And may I say again, the true incidence will never be known due to the use of different ICD codes to describe essentially the same disease process. That’s how they “lowered” the incidence of SIDS.

“increase in the rates of non-SIDS causes of sudden unexpected infant death could account for >90% of the drop in the SIDS rates suggests that a change in classification may be occurring.”
