Throughout 1981 and 1982 all deaths of infants aged 8-365 days (post-perinatal infant mortality, PPIM) in Scotland were studied. During this period there were 135 250 live births and 1533 infant deaths (infant mortality rate 11.3), including 763 PPIM deaths (5.6 per 1000 live births). These 763 deaths fell into three main categories: birth-determined (329), accident or acquired disease (65), and cot deaths (369). Birth-determined deaths included 109 preterm, 199 congenital disorders, and 21 miscellaneous deaths. 61 of the cot deaths were fully explained on necropsy, in 141 an associated finding which might or might not be relevant was found, and in the remaining 167 no explanation was found. The cot death rate was 2.7 per 1000 live births overall (3.3 for boys, 2.1 for girls), and more second-born than first-born children died (approximately 3:2). Excluding "explained" cot deaths the rate was 2.3 per 1000 live births.
在1981年至1982年期间，对苏格兰所有8至365天龄婴儿的死亡情况（围产期后婴儿死亡率，PPIM）进行了研究。在此期间，有135250例活产婴儿，1533例婴儿死亡（婴儿死亡率为11.3），其中包括763例PPIM死亡（每1000例活产婴儿中有5.6例）。这763例死亡主要分为三类：出生时即确定的（329例）、意外或后天疾病（65例）以及婴儿猝死（369例）。出生时即确定的死亡包括109例早产、199例先天性疾病和21例其他死因。尸检结果完全解释了61例婴儿猝死的原因，在141例中发现了一个可能相关或不相关的关联发现，其余167例未找到解释。总体而言，婴儿猝死率为每1000例活产婴儿中有2.7例（男孩为3.3例，女孩为2.1例），二胎死亡的婴儿比头胎死亡的婴儿更多（约为3:2）。排除“已解释”的婴儿猝死，该比率为每1000例活产婴儿中有2.3例。
