Elhaik found great variation in the SIDS mortality rate. Of the 15 countries studied, The Netherlands, where the Dutch do not practice infant circumcision, was the lowest at 0.06 per 1000 births, while the United States where non-therapeutic infant circumcision is commonplace had the highest at 0.82 per 1000 births.<ref name="elhaik2019" />
Elhaik reported that the incidence of SIDS in states where Medicaid pays for non-therapeutic circumcision is higher than that of states where Medicaid does not pay for non-therapeutic circumcision.<ref name="elhaik2019" />
