Abstract
The incidence rate of SIDS declined in California from 1989 to 2001, with no further decline after 2002. Several epidemiologic changes were noted: The peak age of SIDS death shifted from 2 months to 3 months of age; seasonal variation diminished; and weekday to weekend difference became more pronounced.
