In Reply.— Guntheroth and Spiers,1 displeased with our commentary in Pediatrics,2 have raised many issues. However, the key question is whether the scientific data incriminating the prone position as a contributor to SIDS warrant a recommendation to change sleeping position at this time. Based on our critical review of the literature, we conclude that this recommendation was premature and unwarranted. Accepting the current definition of SIDS as the sudden death of an infant that remains unexplained even after a thorough postmortem examination, death scene investigation, and review of the clinical history, one can decide which of the 15 published studies in which a statistical association is described between prone sleeping and SIDS is acceptable.

The 19Th Century

Since antiquity, cot death was explained as accidental suffocation, overlaying, or smothering. Parents were blamed for neglect or drunkenness, and a cage called arcuccio was invented around 1570 to protect the sleeping infant. Up to the 19th century, accidents were registered as natural causes of death. From 1830, accidental suffocation became unacceptable for physicians and legislators, and ‘natural’ explanations for the catastrophe were sought, with parents being consoled rather than blamed. Prone sleeping originated in the 1930s and from 1944 was associated with cot death. However, from the 1960s many authors recommended prone sleeping for infants, and many countries adopted the advice. A worldwide epidemic followed, peaking at 2% in England and Wales and 5% in New Zealand in the 1980s. Although epidemiological evidence was available by 1970, the first intervention was initiated in the Netherlands in 1989. Cot death disappeared almost entirely wherever prone sleeping was avoided. This strongly supports the assumption that prone sleeping has the greatest influence on the disorder, and that the epidemic resulted from wrong advice.

Geometric Changes

Previous investigators have reported that posture changes may influence the geometry and hemodynamics of the carotid bifurcation [1,2]. As a result, head rotation may cause geometric changes that alter the hemodynamic variables previously cited to correlate with the development of atherosclerosis. Glor et al. [1] had reported changes in the right carotid bifurcation geometry with leftward rotation of the head. Aristokleous et al. [2] have reported that geometric differences in the right and left carotid bifurcation occur with a rightward rotation of the head in 10 healthy volunteers [2]. Also, a similar study on bilateral head rotation on the left and right carotid bifurcation of two volunteers has shown similar results [3]. In this study a group of four patients with atherosclerotic disease in the carotid arteries was investigated at two head postures, a) the supine neutral and b) the prone sleeping with head rotation leftwards up to 80° to investigate the level of stenosis and the changes in geometric parameters with head rotation.
