| Abstract |
Attention is drawn to the marked change in the pattern of infant mortality in Canada. The period of greatest improvement in the reduction of infant death, i.e. from the end of the first 28 days of life to the end of the first year, continues to present a challenge in the problem of sudden unexpected deaths (S.U.D.). Cases remain unexplained even after detailed autopsy examination. The principal theories of milk hypersensitivity and virus infection have been unsatisfactory, to date, in accounting for the deaths.By enlisting the co-operation of parents and physicians, the Department of Preventive Medicine at Queen's University plans to carry out an epidemiological investigation of S.U.D. in infancy in Southeastern Ontario. Much could be added to our knowledge of S.U.D. by the examination of the sociomedical background of cases. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 August 2020.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Canadian Medical Association Journal
#9,098
of 9,453 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,784
of 1,818 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Canadian Medical Association Journal
#8
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,453 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 34.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 1,818 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
