- 9. Front vs other positions
- 10. Can we infer causality? • RCTs feasible in 1970 but not after • Evidence only from systematic review of observational studies • But…. – Strong association – Not explained by confounders – Dose effect (side, front vs back) – SIDS reduced when front sleeping declined

- 13. Lessons 1) Clinical practice requires clinical evidence 2) Delays in systematically reviewing evidence can cost lives 3) Systematic reviews – can help to explain conflicting results
