Overview

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a rare syndrome which follows autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is one of the leading cause of infant death especially ages between one month and one year in the United States of America.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • In 1830, Kopp’s proposed “thymic asthma” which might lead to the death of the child due to enlargement of the thymus.[1]
  • During 18th century some others suggested that the sudden death in the infant is due to the asphyxial mechanisms, suffocation catarrh, superstition or the actions of witches and gods.[2]
  • In 1969, Horgan was the first to coin the term SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
  • In 1971, the term SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) was accepted as an official diagnosis on death certificates.
  • In 1979, World Health Organization (WHO) allocated a unique code number for SIDS under the number 798.0 as WHO International Classification of Diseases.
  • In 1982, Kelly et al was the first to discover the apneic periods in newborn sibs of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).[3][4][5]
  • In 1986, Bass et al was the first to report accidental asphyxiation of infants by the objects on the crib or violent shaking which will eventually results in very severe form called shaken baby syndrome.
  • In 1986, Smialek was the first to collect information on infants twins who died suddenly and simultaneously.[6]
  • In 1990, Back to Sleep program was introduced and there is significant decrease in the cases of SIDS. [7]
  • In 1992, Filiano and Kinney was the first to report the association between developmental hypoplasia of the arcuate nucleus and developing of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).[8]
  • In 1995, Pinholster cited about the breathing pattern and the conditions that can predispose to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
  • In 2004, Mage and Donner gave a detailed explanations on infant respiratory mortality that happened in the regions of U.S., U.K., and Scandinavia.[9]
  • "Wear and Tear” hypothesis says that the sudden death in the infant is the result of painful, stressful, or traumatic exposures that the infant exposed in utero due to neonatal regulatory systems incompatible with allostasis.[10]
