[Case studies of sudden infant death cases (SIDS)]
1Institut für Rechtsmedizin, Medizinische Fakultät, Rheinisch-Westfälische-Technische Hochschule Aachen.
Abstract:
Parents and attending physicians of 100 SIDS victims were interviewed applying a questionnaire especially designed for this purpose. Particular attention was focussed on the courses of pregnancy and birth, medical check-ups and the infants' unusual behaviour during the last days of their lives. As far as possible we compared our data with the results of the Rhenian Perinatal Survey 1990.
