An apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) describes an acute, unexpected change in an infant's breathing, aspect, or behavior frightening to the parent or caretaker. According to the new recent terminology, clinicians should use the term Brief Resolved Unexplained Event (BRUE) to describe an event occurring in an infant <1 year of age when the observer reports a sudden, brief, and now resolved episode. The aims of the present study in infants were: to investigate sleep disturbances in both ALTE event and after their classification according the new BRUE criteria.
