1992年4月，美国儿科学会（AAP）建议对美国的婴儿护理进行重大改革。他们建议婴儿仰卧睡眠姿势的声明发表在6月份的《儿科学》杂志上。然而，我们中的许多人详细研究了证据，认为这种建议的风险可能被低估了，而好处被高估了，对于这个国家的婴儿来说。因此，我们希望对现有证据提出另一种解释，以便执业儿科医生可以根据最广泛的信息决定如何建议他们的患者，并了解证据是不确定的，AAP的建议并不像学院声明中明确承认的那样，作为护理标准。
In April 1992, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended a major change in the care of infants in the United States. Their statement recommending supine sleep position for infants was published in the June issue of Pediatrics.1 Many of us who have examined the evidence in detail, however, believe that the risks of such a recommendation may have been underestimated, and the benefits overestimated, for infants in this country. We therefore wish to present an alternative interpretation of the available evidence, so that practicing pediatricians may decide how to advise their patients on the basis of the broadest information, and with the knowledge that the evidence is inconclusive and that the AAP recommendation does not, as the Academy statement clearly acknowledges, serve as a standard of care.
