title: Announcement: Sudden Death in the Young Case Registry.
abstract: Approximately 3,500 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in the United States. Less is known about the incidence in children because epidemiologic studies of these deaths in children are rare. The increased mortality risk in children with undetected heart conditions or epilepsy highlights the need for expanded surveillance to identify sudden unexpected death associated with these conditions.
