Agonal histories were traced for 1182 of 1782 postneonatal deaths in Sheffield between 1947 and 1979. Twenty eight per cent of these deaths were histologically inexplicable, 19% were from infections and 15% from malformations. These sudden infection and malformation deaths were explicable, yet by some definitions they would be considered as cot deaths. Varying definitions may lead to confusion, hindering the search for aetiological mechanisms.
在1947年至1979年期间，谢菲尔德1782例新生儿期后死亡病例中，追溯了1182例临终前情况。这些死亡病例中，28%在组织学上无法解释，19%死于感染，15%死于畸形。这些突发的感染和畸形死亡病例是可以解释的，但按照某些定义，它们会被视为婴儿猝死。不同的定义可能会导致混淆，阻碍对病因机制的探寻。
