Abstract
Infant mortality, defined as deaths in children from birth to the first year of age per 1000 live births, is an important social indicator reflecting general population health and well-being. In Queensland, deaths attributed to sudden and unexpected deaths in infancy (SUDI) were at a rate of 0.9 per 1,000 live births (82.0 deaths per 100,000 infants), for the 2006-07 annual period [CCYPCG 2007]. Most SUDI deaths occur as a result of either Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or a fatal sleep accident.
