Unexplained stillbirths and sudden infant death syndrome.
Comparison of necropsy records, clinical details and epidemiological data of 93 unexplained stillbirths and 149 cases of sudden infant death syndrome provides compelling evidence that these disorders represent a continuum of a single spectrum of disease. Regarding them as a single disease entity could lead to a clearer understanding of both.
