The recent decline in the incidence of the SIDS in the District of Columbia has permitted identification of what appears to be two separate groups of cases within the generic SIDS population. While deaths of bed-sharing victims remained relatively constant throughout the study period, a greater than fourfold decrease was seen in non-bed-sharing SIDS fatalities. The implications and preliminary nature of these findings are discussed in an attempt to stimulate further inquiry into the possible safety hazard of the practice of bed-sharing in the SIDS age group and its potential influence on the incidence of the SIDS.
哥伦比亚特区婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）发病率最近有所下降，这使得在一般SIDS人群中识别出似乎两个不同的病例组成为可能。在整个研究期间，与床伴睡的受害者死亡人数相对保持稳定，而非与床伴睡的SIDS死亡人数则下降了四倍多。本文讨论了这些发现的意义及其初步性质，旨在激发对SIDS年龄组中与床伴睡行为可能存在的安全隐患及其对SIDS发病率的潜在影响进行进一步探究。
