I way too stupid in both medicine and statistics to interpret this, but if the conclusion holds then my understanding is that this gives an indicator at around ~2 days after birth if a baby is at high risk for SIDS.
As a parent having sort of lived through the fear of SIDS when our kids were younger, I really hope that is true. I have no idea what can be done if there is a higher risk, I guess more intense monitoring comes to mind. I don't even know what actually causes death by SIDS, and how you would stop it.
It's a truly horrible thing however, and I hope this can help stop/prevent it for future babies' and their parents' sake. Go science!
