The definition of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) originally appeared in 1969 and was modified 2 decades later. During the following 15 years, an enormous amount additional information has emerged, justifying refinement SIDS to incorporate epidemiologic features, risk factors, pathologic ancillary test findings. An expert panel pediatric forensic pathologists pediatricians considered these issues developed a new general for administrative vital statistics purposes. then stratified...

Maternal smoking during pregnancy is an established risk factor for sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). Here, we aim to investigate the effects of maternal prepregnancy smoking, reduction pregnancy, and on SUID rates.We analyzed Centers Disease Control Prevention Birth Cohort Linked Birth/Infant Death Data Set (2007-2011: 20 685 463 births 19 127 SUIDs). was defined as deaths at <1 year age with International Classification Diseases, 10th Revision codes R95 (sudden syndrome), R99...
Objectives. To identify the risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) following a national campaign to prevent SIDS. Methods. For 2 years (October 1, 1991 through September 30, 1993) data were collected by community child health nurses on all infants born in New Zealand at initial contact and months. Results. There 232 SIDS cases postneonatal age group (2.0/1000 live births) these compared with 1200 randomly selected control subjects. Information was available 127 (54.7%) 922...
