Early neonatal sudden unexpected unexplained deaths (for which we use the term ENSUD) have not been subject to detailed study. The authors investigated the incidence from 1983 to 2007 in the population of the North East of England and North Cumbria. The authors found 30 cases of unexplained ENSUD, giving an overall rate of 0.35/10 000 live births, with no significant change in incidence over this time, and they identified a further 19 deaths of abandoned babies. The authors conclude that unexplained ENSUD is even more rare than has been appreciated and its incidence has not been altered by the considerable changes in maternity care over the last 25 years.
早期新生儿突发意外不明原因死亡（我们使用术语 ENSUD）尚未进行详细研究。作者调查了 1983 年至 2007 年在英格兰东北部和坎布里亚北部的人群中的发生率。作者发现了 30 例不明原因的 ENSUD，总发生率为 0.35/10000 活产，在此期间发病率无显著变化，他们还确定了另外 19 例被遗弃婴儿的死亡。作者得出结论，不明原因的 ENSUD 比人们所认为的更为罕见，而且在过去 25 年中，产妇保健方面的重大变化并没有改变其发生率。
