Abstract

Kukull, W. A., and D. R. Peterson (School of Public Hearth and Community Medicine, U. of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195). Sudden infant death and infanticide. Am J Epidemiol 106:485-486, 1977.The hypothesis, advanced by Asch (Mt Sinai J Med NY 35:214-220, 1968), that a majority of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases are actually infanticides, is addressed by examination of age comparable infant homicide rates (United States, 1950-1974) and consideration of current theory regarding SIDS pathogenesis. The analysis provides no support for the hypothesis.
