Dr Stivrins' letter allows us to clarify some important points made by our paper entitled, "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in Infants Evaluated by Apnea Programs in California" (Pediatrics 1986;77:451-455).

The purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics of infants who died after evaluation by an apnea program for apneic episodes or for statistical increased risk for SIDS. Although this does not represent a complete sampling of the apnea programs in California, it presents data on more than 3,000 infants who were evaluated.
