In order to assess the actual rate of sudden infant death in France, an epidemiological survey was carried out. All the deaths of the postneonatal period were investigated from September 1986 to December 1987. The parents of the babies and the certifying physicians were involved in the survey, the results of the post mortem investigations were recorded. That material showed a low rate of necropsies among the sudden infant deaths (31% at the national level) and wide variations in the rates between the French regions (from 55 to 7%). Nevertheless the results of the autopsies as well as the clinical aspects allowed to calculate the unexplained sudden infant death rates by region according to the Beckwith's definition. These rates are ranging from 0.8 to 1.9 per thousand live births (mean 1.3).
为评估法国婴儿猝死的实际发生率，开展了一项流行病学调查。对1986年9月至1987年12月期间所有新生儿后期死亡病例进行了调查。婴儿父母及出具死亡证明的医生参与了此次调查，并记录了尸检结果。该材料显示，婴儿猝死病例中的尸检率较低（全国水平为31%），法国各地区之间的尸检率差异很大（从55%到7%）。尽管如此，尸检结果以及临床情况使得能够根据贝克威思的定义计算各地区不明原因婴儿猝死率。这些比率在每千例活产0.8至1.9之间（平均为1.3）。
