sometimes called "crib death" is the sudden death of a baby under 1 year of age which the cause of death remains unexplained after a thorough investigation including an autopsy.
90% of these deaths occur between 2 and 6 months of age, increasing the appearance of new cases in the winter months.
Several risk factors such as the black race, male sex, babies from secondhand smoke and low birth weight are linked to SIDS. Often in these cases the mothers are young, poor and unmarried, have received little or no prenatal care, have been ill during pregnancy, smoking and / or drugs, who have fathered a baby in the last year. It is also likely that parents are young and smokers.
adverse socioeconomic circumstances also worsen the risk of SIDS, although the syndrome also affects infants of the privileged classes.
What are the causes of SIDS?
The condition is not contagious and is caused by choking or vomiting.
One theory suggests a neurological abnormality, perhaps an alteration in brain chemistry. The estudion point to difficulties in the regulation of respiratory control in the transition from sleep to wakefulness and wake up and be able to turn his head to avoid drowning. researchers in Italy have found a strong correlation between SIDS and unusual abnormalities in heart rhythm, which can be identified by an electrocardiogram.
Some research strongly supports the connection with smoking parents as almost 30% of deaths could be avoided if mothers did not smoke.
