Abstract
Between 1 October 1988 and 31 December 1995 in Tasmania 107 infants <1 year old died of the sudden infant death syndrome. Of the families affected, 100 (93%) participated in this study and were compared directly with 196 age matched controls. Methods are described elsewhere.1 A quilt is a coverlet made by stitching two thicknesses of fabric together with a filling (usually synthetic) enclosed between the layers. Conditional multiple logistic regression2 was used to evaluate interaction effects; egret 0.26.6 software (Cytel Software, Cambridge, MA, USA) provided matched odds ratios with logit-based 95% confidence intervals.Keywords
