The poor percentage of recruited cases and controls could have resulted in selection bias. Only 47% of eligible cases were enrolled and only 41% of controls were recruited. Only 6 of the 167 coroner-pronounced SIDS cases used fans, while only 36 of 309 controls used fans. If 20 cases instead of the 6 cases had used fans, for example, the results would no longer be statistically significant, and because 53% of cases were not enrolled, we will never know.
