Obstructive sleep apnea and sudden infant death syndrome are linked by clinical research, including studies by Tishler et al., which identify a significant association between the two conditions [1], [2], [3]. Furthermore, the increased frequency of sudden infant death syndrome in families with a history of obstructive sleep apnea suggests they may share common genetic risk factors [4].
