Rates of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome rose 12% between 2020 and 2022, even though overall mortality rates have decreased, according to a new study
A plot of SIDS rate from 1988 to 2006. The Safe to Sleep campaign, formerly known as the Back to Sleep campaign, [1] is an initiative backed by the US National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at the US National Institutes of Health to encourage parents to have their infants sleep on their backs (supine position) to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS.
African American infants have a 24% greater risk (100.7 per 100,000 live births) of having a SIDS-related death, compared to the U.S. population as a whole, [86] and experience a 2.5 [vague] greater incidence of SIDS than white infants. [87]
[1] [18] The most controversial issue regarding SIDS is whether bed sharing is a main cause, and whether it should be avoided or encouraged. [1] Some research indicates that SIDS risk increases with co-sleeping, particularly bed-sharing; [16] [17] other research indicates that co-sleeping done in an "appropriate and safe" manner reduces SIDS risk.
The results indicated that infants with particular levels of those metabolites in their blood had a higher risk of SIDS — up to 14 times the odds compared to infants with the lowest risk.
Thousands of children [citation needed] were removed from their parents and taken into care or fostered out because they were deemed to be 'at risk'. From 2003, however, the tide of opinion turned: a number of high-profile acquittals cast doubt on the validity of 'Meadow's Law'. Several convictions were reversed, and many more came under review.
There has not been enough research to identify risk factors, common characteristics, or prevention strategies for SUDC. SUDC is similar in concept to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Like SIDS, SUDC is a diagnosis of exclusion, the concrete symptom of both being death. However, SIDS is a diagnosis specifically for infants under the age of ...
Sudden infant death syndrome: Prevention: None: Prognosis: Bad, infants with the disorder usually die before the age of 1. Frequency: very rare, only 22 cases have been described in medical literature. Deaths: 22
