Infants from South West
Thames (UK) region were
randomly selected from all
births, except home births.
The subjects were
randomly allocated an age
at which to be interviewed,
in such a way as to ensure
that they had a similar age
distribution to that
previously described for
SIDS cases. The median
age was 90 days (range
30-302 days). The study
ran from 14 October 1990
to 13 October 1991.
