Used mattresses may increase risk of cot death
Babies who routinely sleep on an infant mattress previously used by another child may be at increased risk of cot death, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-10-30)
Recurrence of sudden infant death syndrome has been overestimated
Recurrence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is rare and has been overestimated by studies which have tried to quantify it. view more (2007-06-12)
Immunisation is not linked to sudden infant death
Vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis is now given at ages 2, 3 and 4 months in the UK, which coincides with the peak age for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). However, a study in this week's BMJ finds that immunisation is not linked to sudden unexpected death in infancy and may even protect against it. All sudden unexpected... view more... (2001-04-03)
Major risk factors identified for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (p 185)
Results of European research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how basic child-care strategies-such as preventing babies from sleeping face-down, using appropriate bedding, and discouraging bed-sharing with mothers who smoke-could reduce the risk of 'cot death' (sudden unexplained infant death syndrome [SIDS]). Four large studies were... view more... (2004-01-14)
Researchers link two more genes to sudden infant death syndrome
Recent discoveries at Mayo Clinic added two more cardiac genes to the list of potential links to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), increasing the possibility that genetic defects of the heart may cause up to 15 percent of SIDS cases. view more (2006-05-19)
New analysis puts cot death under scrutiny once again
An analysis published in this week's BMJ is set to re-open the debate over sudden unexpected infant death (cot death). view more (2007-07-20)
Parents-and-babies to be filmed in co-sleeping study
The study sets out to examine the natural interaction between parents and babies asleep together, which some researchers have suggested could help to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or cot-death. The results could help to clarify advice to new parents. view more (1998-09-04)
Very young babies vulnerable to sudden death while seated
Very young babies are vulnerable to sudden death, when seated, warns a study published ahead of print in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2007-07-19)
Leading pediatricians group recommends infants sleep in cribs, not parents' beds
Revised American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines on preventing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) recommend putting babies to sleep in their own cribs instead of in their parents' beds. view more (2005-10-10)
Estimates of child abuse in sudden infant death may have been too high
Estimates of suspected child abuse in cases of sudden unexpected death in infancy may have been too high, suggests research in Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2003-07-18)
Was SIDS the cause of infant deaths even 150 years ago?
19th century infant deaths attributed to smothering and overlaying, by either a co-sleeper or bedding, were in all likelihood crib deaths, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). view more (2009-07-15)
Nearly 28,000 US infants died in 2004
Preterm birth contributes to more than one-third of all infant deaths, according to the National Vital Statistics report released today. view more (2007-05-07)
New reforms could cut the number of unexplained infant deaths
Reforms introduced as a result of the Sally Clark case could lead to a halving in the number of cases of unexplained infant deaths and a positive legacy emerging from tragedy, says a feature in this week's BMJ. view more (2007-05-25)
New study: Preterm birth causes one-third of all infant deaths
Premature birth was the underlying cause of nearly twice as many infant deaths than previously estimated, according to a new analysis by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. view more (2006-10-02)
Heart rhythm genes possible factors in SIDS
Nearly 10 percent of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) victims have mutations or variations in genes associated with potentially lethal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), according to two newly published studies involving Vanderbilt researchers. view more (2007-01-16)
Women fast catching up with men on risks of sudden death after heart attack
Women are fast catching up with men when it comes to risk of sudden death after a heart attack, reveals research in Heart. view more (2002-11-18)
Some evidence that breast feeding protects against cot death (SIDS)
Breastfeeding might protect against cot death, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-05-20)
Gene mingling increases sudden death risk
A multi-national research team has discovered that two genetic factors converge to increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. view more (2009-10-13)
Maternal smoking may alter the arousal process of infants, increasing their risk for SIDS
A study in the April 1 issue of the journal SLEEP shows that maternal smoking is associated with an impaired infant arousal process that may increase the risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The authors suggest that maternal smoking has replaced stomach sleeping as the greatest modifiable risk factor for SIDS. view more (2009-04-01)
Over half of cot deaths occur while co-sleeping
More than half of sudden unexplained infant deaths occur while the infant is sharing a bed or a sofa with a parent (co-sleeping) and may be related to parents drinking alcohol or taking drugs, suggests a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2009-10-14)
