Dooms,
“When you add up SIDS + Unknown Causes (what’s difference?) + accidental suffocation / strangulation
you will the number of HEALTHY Babies dying in their sleep BARELY CHANGED!”
Once again, you are twisting the truth.
Posted in Pediatrics.
Postneonatal deaths in total of have declined 21.9% where SIDS have declined 38.9%.
The increases in other areas (by a percent or so) are the reason why the overal postneonatal rate has not declined as much as the SIDS rate has declined.
Unlike you posted, there was an overall decline in postneonatal mortality. There has not been any change in name, SIDS is still SIDS, just like before all mortality up until the first year of age goes under the postneonatal category.
