Abstract
To the Editor.—
It was with interest that we read the article on obstructive apnea in human infants by van Someren and Stothers.1 We would, however, like to correct some of the misconceptions concerning our work. We did not find that "the only difference between `near miss SIDS infants' and control groups was an increased frequency of short 3- to 6-second periods of mixed and obstructive apnea in the high risk group." As written in Pediatrics,2 we found that "the total number of mixed and obstructive apnea greater than 3 seconds during total sleep time, between 3 weeks and 4½ months statistically differentiated the two groups."
