==Overview==
Common complications of SIDS include sudden unexplained death. Depending on the risk factors for recurrence, the prognosis may vary for SIDS. SIDS is typically unexplained death during without any prior symptoms.
==Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis==

===Natural History===
*The symptoms of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) usually develop in between one month and one year of age in the United States.<ref name="pmid293885862">{{cite journal| author=Ndu IK| title=Sudden infant death syndrome: an unrecognized killer in developing countries. | journal=Pediatric Health Med Ther | year= 2016 | volume= 7 | issue=  | pages= 1-4 | pmid=29388586 | doi=10.2147/PHMT.S99685 | pmc=5683278 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=29388586  }}</ref>

**Women whose infants die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are highly likely to have complications in their following pregnancies with the following:
***Placenta previa
***Abruptio placenta
***Premature rupture of membranes

===Prognosis===

*Depending on the risk factors for recurrence, the prognosis may vary for SIDS, which include apparent life-threatening events (ALTE).<ref name="pmid22855928">{{cite journal| author=Fu LY, Moon RY| title=Apparent life-threatening events: an update. | journal=Pediatr Rev | year= 2012 | volume= 33 | issue= 8 | pages= 361-8; quiz 368-9 | pmid=22855928 | doi=10.1542/pir.33-8-361 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22855928  }}</ref><ref name="pmid15499062">{{cite journal| author=McGovern MC, Smith MB| title=Causes of apparent life threatening events in infants: a systematic review. | journal=Arch Dis Child | year= 2004 | volume= 89 | issue= 11 | pages= 1043-8 | pmid=15499062 | doi=10.1136/adc.2003.031740 | pmc=1719711 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15499062  }}</ref><ref name="pmid18950797">{{cite journal| author=Al-Kindy HA, Gélinas JF, Hatzakis G, Côté A| title=Risk factors for extreme events in infants hospitalized for apparent life-threatening events. | journal=J Pediatr | year= 2009 | volume= 154 | issue= 3 | pages= 332-7, 337.e1-2 | pmid=18950797 | doi=10.1016/j.jpeds.2008.08.051 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18950797  }}</ref><ref name="pmid19078815">{{cite journal| author=Santiago-Burruchaga M, Sánchez-Etxaniz J, Benito-Fernández J, Vázquez-Cordero C, Mintegi-Raso S, Labayru-Echeverría M | display-authors=etal| title=Assessment and management of infants with apparent life-threatening events in the paediatric emergency department. | journal=Eur J Emerg Med | year= 2008 | volume= 15 | issue= 4 | pages= 203-8 | pmid=19078815 | doi=10.1097/MEJ.0b013e3282f4d13a | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19078815  }}</ref><ref name="pmid22743742">{{cite journal| author=Mittal MK, Sun G, Baren JM| title=A clinical decision rule to identify infants with apparent life-threatening event who can be safely discharged from the emergency department. | journal=Pediatr Emerg Care | year= 2012 | volume= 28 | issue= 7 | pages= 599-605 | pmid=22743742 | doi=10.1097/PEC.0b013e31825cf576 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22743742  }}</ref>
*History of multiple events preceding the hospital admission, and infections that are viral in nature also play a important role in determining the prognosis in SIDS victims.
