Overview
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is one of the major cause of death in infants especially whose age range between one month to one year in United States of America. The incidence of SIDS is low but it is higher in some ethnic groups in America.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is approximately is less than <1 per 1000 live births in United States.[1][2]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in association with smoking during pregnancy increased from 50% to 80%.[3]
Mortality rate
- The infant mortality rate of SIDS is approximately 3.2 per 1,000 live births for Chinese mothers.[4][5][6][7][8]
- The infant mortality rate of SIDS is approximately 2.2 and 2.8 per 1,000 live births for American Indian mothers.
- The infant mortality rate of SIDS is approximately 13.3 per 1,000 live births for black mothers.
- The infant mortality rate of SIDS is approximately 4.2 per 1,000 live births for Hispanics.
- .The infant mortality rate of SIDS is approximately 8.5 per 1,000 live births for Puerto Rican mothers.
Age
- Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) commonly affects individuals younger than twelve months of age.
Race
- Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) usually affects individuals of the American Indian, Alaskan native, and African American race more than the general population.[9]
Gender
- According to the European case-control study Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) affects boys more than girls.
- Cases of developing Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in twins is extremely rare.[10]
Developed Countries and Developing Countries
- Countries like Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and United States who implemented Back to Sleep program which means encouraging non-prone sleeping positions decreased the incidence of SIDS.
- In United States the incidence of SIDS decreased dramatically after the implementation of American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) strategy of placing the infant in in a supine position for sleep.[11][12][13]
