The aim of this paper is to review and compare results from different studies describing the possible preventive effect of pacifiers on the sudden infant death syndrome. A Medline and Pubmed search was performed in order to find relevant references. Four groups of researchers were found, and referring to the most recent publications of each working group, these papers were reviewed with regard to sample size, setting of the studies, odds ratios and confidence intervals. All four research groups found an association between pacifier use and a reduced risk of sudden infant death syndrome, but they all concluded that the association does not necessarily imply that the use of a pacifier is protective against the sudden infant death syndrome. Therefore, they provide no definite recommendation for pacifier use on the grounds of protection against the sudden infant death syndrome.
本文旨在回顾和比较不同研究的结果，这些研究描述了安抚奶嘴对婴儿猝死综合征可能的预防作用。为了找到相关参考文献，我们进行了医学文献数据库（Medline）和生物医学文献数据库（Pubmed）的检索。我们找到了四组研究人员，并参考每个研究小组的最新出版物，从样本量、研究背景、比值比和置信区间等方面对这些论文进行了综述。所有四个研究小组都发现使用安抚奶嘴与降低婴儿猝死综合征风险之间存在关联，但他们都得出结论，这种关联并不一定意味着使用安抚奶嘴能预防婴儿猝死综合征。因此，他们没有基于预防婴儿猝死综合征的理由给出关于使用安抚奶嘴的明确建议。
