Preterm babies are at risk of sudden death. Determination of the risk factors and prediction of the probability of sudden death syndrome in infants will help the physicians in purposeful observation of the risk-group children, improve the efficacy of prophylactic check-ups, and decrease neonatal mortality. A prognostic table for rapid diagnosis of the risk of sudden death syndrome is proposed for practical public health.
