What you need to Know about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Crib Death Cot Death A comprehensive overview Book PDF Summary
The term sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) was first proposed in 1969 in order to focus attention on a subgroup of infants with similar clinical features whose deaths occurred unexpectedly in the postnatal period. Today the definition of SIDS refers to death in a seemingly healthy infant younger than 1 year of age whose death remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation including a complete autopsy, review of medical and clinical history, and death scene investigation. SIDS is typically associated with a sleep period with death presumed to have occurred during sleep itself or in the transition between sleep and waking. This led to application of the terms “cot” or “crib” death; however, these terms are rarely used today. Furthermore, while the definition is inclusive of infants up to 1 year of age, approximately 95% of SIDS deaths occur in the first six months of life with a peak incidence in infants aged between 2 to 4 months. While there are distinctive features associated with the syndrome there are no diagnostic features that can be attributed to a SIDS death. Indeed, application of the term relies on a process of elimination and when no known cause of death or contributing factors can be determined, the term SIDS is usually applied. Thus, an attempt has been made in this informative E-Booklet to present an ongoing debate, comprehensively, regarding the definition and use of the term SIDS, since no one definition has been universally accepted, but still one certainty persists, and that is that SIDS still remains a diagnosis of exclusion. …Dr. H.
