To the Editor.— The recognition by the Academy1 that altering the recommendation for the sleeping position of infants may lower the incidence of sudden infant death may help decrease the diagnosis of sudden infant death syndrome as one of us (E. G.-B.) reported in 19892 and as Professor John Emery reported in 1968.3 In addition, recognition of other possible causes of sudden infant death,4 eg, beds and bedding, overlying, metabolic diseases, child abuse, and felicide will further help to limit the diagnosis of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, essentially a diagnosis of unknown cause made by exclusion.

New Evidence

The preceding report describes new evidence from around the world linking infant prone sleeping position and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Other than in this report, much of the recent information has not yet been published, except in official governmental statistics reports from the various countries. Nevertheless, it seems clear that SIDS rates do decrease significantly after public campaigns aimed at reducing the incidence of prone sleeping. The initial concern, that a shift away from prone sleeping might result in an increase in undesirable complications, has not materialized. There have been no increases in disorders such as aspiration, acute life-threatening events, and vomiting, after infant sleeping position has changed almost exclusively to non-prone in several countries.
