Distinctive epidemiological features of the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are its age at death distribution and pronounced winter excess. Whether or not these effects are independent of the month of birth of the infant is uncertain. We used a loglinear model to separate the effects of age at death, month of death and month of birth amongst 6229 infants who died from SIDS in England and Wales during the period 1979-1983. The results suggest that month of birth and month of death independently influence the risk of the infant dying from SIDS, the risk related to month of death being much greater.
婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）独特的流行病学特征是其死亡年龄分布以及明显的冬季高发。这些影响是否独立于婴儿的出生月份尚不确定。我们使用对数线性模型，对1979年至1983年期间在英格兰和威尔士死于SIDS的6229名婴儿的死亡年龄、死亡月份和出生月份的影响进行了区分。结果表明，出生月份和死亡月份独立影响婴儿死于SIDS的风险，与死亡月份相关的风险要大得多。
