Between January 1982 and June 1989 in South Australia 19 infants under 2 years of age have had serious sequelae following an apparent life threatening event (ALTE) for which no cause could be identified. Thirteen of these children have died, four survive with severe hypoxic damage, one has normal psycho-motor development and epilepsy, and another has mental retardation and strabismus. Study of these infants suggests heterogeneity in the cause of both sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and ALTE, and occasional links between the two.
1982年1月至1989年6月期间，在南澳大利亚，19名2岁以下婴儿在经历明显危及生命的事件（ALTE）后出现了严重后遗症，而该事件的病因无法确定。这些儿童中有13名已经死亡，4名存活但有严重的缺氧损伤，1名精神运动发育正常但患有癫痫，另1名有智力障碍和斜视。对这些婴儿的研究表明，婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）和ALTE的病因存在异质性，且二者之间偶尔存在关联。
