Key result
Registered SIDS rates showed a statistically significant negative relationship with infant mortality rates resulting from perinatal conditions across 12 industrialised countries in the 1980s.
Observational
Yes
There is a statistically significant negative relationship between registered SIDS rates and infant mortality rates from perinatal conditions in industrialized countries.

Indicates possible diagnostic substitution in infant mortality stats; leaves open whether perinatal conditions influence modern SIDS classification.
This study compared the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in 12 industrialised countries during the 1980s with that of other known causes of infant mortality using WHO demographic data. Regression analysis showed a statistically significant negative relationship between registered SIDS rate and infant mortality rate, as a result of perinatal conditions. The results are discussed, and possible explanations are suggested.
