For example, Mitchell and colleagues conducted a case-control study in New Zealand to investigate the major risk factors for SIDS, including exposure to ETS. One hundred and twenty eight SIDS cases identified in several New Zealand health districts between November 1987 and October 1988 were matched to three to four controls (503 controls total). ETS exposure was assessed through a parental questionnaire on tobacco usage. A significant association was demonstrated (odds ratio 1.7) between postnatal maternal smoking and SIDS; this association remained significant after adjustment for possible confounders. A dose–response relationship was also observed between maternal smoking and SIDS; the odds ratio for an infant dying from SIDS was 1.9 (95% confidence interval: 1.0, 3.5) for mothers smoking 1 to 9 cigarettes/day, 2.6 (95% CI: 1.5, 4.7) for mothers smoking 10 to 19 cigaret
