“…As demonstrated in the present study, the low incidence of SIDS even in a place with an adequate postmortem investigation system is probably due to underdiagnosis. Certain measures should be taken before its real incidence in Brazil can be discussed: a) professionals who deal directly with infants or who work in emergency services will have to be aware that all infants whose death shows the possibility of being SIDS should be subjected to autopsy accompanied by provision of complete and pertinent information, in addition to the clinical suspicions; 26 b) the services that perform autopsies of this type should institute specific and complete investigation protocols based on the international literature 25 and promote refreshing of their professionals’ skills, so that the examinations can be made adequate and sufficient for a diagnosis of SIDS. Only after these measures become part of standard practices will we be able to effectively determine what SIDS represents in terms of infant mortality and then be able to carry out studies to analyze the characteristics of this syndrome, such as risk factors and other relevant epidemiological data.…”
