“…became recognized by the Registrar General as a registrable cause of death, but it has not yet gained a place in the International Classification of Diseases. Studies of incidence in Northern Ireland (Froggatt, 1970;Marshall, 1970), however, agree with local studies in England and Scotland (Richards and McIntosh, 1972;Fedrick, 1973;Milligan, 1974) in assessing the incidence of S.I.D.S. at between 2 and 3 per 1000 live births.…”

SUMMARY A detailed pathological and psychosocial study was made of all postperinatal (8 days-2 years) deaths in Sheffield during a 2-year period. The cause of death was classified from the point of view of possible prevention. Of the total of 65 deaths, 35 were unpreventable after the perinatal period, but 9 might have been preventable before birth. Of the 30 other deaths, 20 had evidence of possible treatable disease, and for the majority of these adverse social factors could be identified.

“…Received 15 August 1974. While the precise mechanism of death may not always be known, the conditions carry a wellrecognized mortality rate-such diseases are meningitis, acute obstructive tracheobronchitis, and gastroenteritis with hypernatraemia. Richards and McIntosh (1972), in a recent study of 226 infant deaths in Glasgow, further annotated possible avoidable factors in 199 children. Such studies do not help greatly unless we are able to evaluate these factors and to discover how some families seem able to achieve adequate medical treatment and others do not.…”
