A stagnation in postneonatal mortality (28 days-1 year) is reported in France as in other similar countries. More than fifty per cent of these deaths are registered under the sudden infant death syndrome, a cause which is classified in the symptoms and ill-defined conditions chapter of the International Classification of Diseases. To establish the actual rate of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) it was necessary to carry out a specific retrospective survey. All postneonatal deaths (3917) registered in France from September 1986 to December 1987 were studied by means of questionnaires sent to the certifying doctor and to the families. The sudden infant death rate is estimated at 1.2 per 1,000 and the risk factors of the total postneonatal deaths are birthweight, prematurity, transfer into neonatal care unit, and age of the mother.
据报道，法国和其他类似国家一样，新生儿后期（28天至1岁）死亡率出现停滞。这些死亡中超过50%被登记为婴儿猝死综合征，这一病因被归类于《国际疾病分类》的症状和不明原因疾病章节。为确定婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）的实际发生率，有必要开展一项特定的回顾性调查。通过向出具死亡证明的医生和家庭发送问卷，对1986年9月至1987年12月在法国登记的所有新生儿后期死亡病例（3917例）进行了研究。婴儿猝死率估计为每1000例中有1.2例，新生儿后期死亡总数的风险因素为出生体重、早产、转入新生儿重症监护病房以及母亲年龄。
