Review of 'near-miss' sudden infant death syndrome and results of simplified pneumographic studies.
Pneumographic studies were carried out on 92 infants suffering from 'near-miss' Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, 67 siblings of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome victims, and five infants of anxious parents. Medical investigations revealed a wide range of causes for episodes presenting as apnoea. The simple pneumographic studies had a 94% sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of future apnoeas.
