Forty five babies delivered in Oxford obstetric units who subsequently died unexpectedly in infancy were compared with 134 controls matched for maternal age, social class, parity, and year of birth to see whether five factors identified in an earlier study as predictive of subsequent child abuse would also predict the sudden infant death syndrome. Epidemiological findings had suggested certain similarities between the two events. In contrast with babies who were abused, four of the five factors did not distinguish between babies who died suddenly and unexpectedly and their controls, but there was a slight increase in the proportion of mothers of babies who died suddenly and unexpectedly for whom nursing staff thought that support and advice on feeding the baby were needed. Factors predictive of child abuse did not predict sudden infant death in this study.
对在牛津产科病房出生、随后在婴儿期意外死亡的45名婴儿，与134名在母亲年龄、社会阶层、产次和出生年份方面相匹配的对照组婴儿进行了比较，以研究早期研究中确定的五个可预测随后虐待儿童情况的因素是否也能预测婴儿猝死综合征。流行病学研究结果表明这两种情况存在某些相似之处。与受虐待的婴儿不同，这五个因素中的四个在意外猝死婴儿与其对照组之间并无区分，但对于意外猝死婴儿的母亲，护理人员认为需要在喂养婴儿方面提供支持和建议的比例略有增加。在本研究中，可预测虐待儿童情况的因素并不能预测婴儿猝死。
