SIDS

~ Origin of the SIDS concept and term:

“The term sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) was first used in 1969 at an international conference on the causes of sudden death in infants.” Bergman AB, Beckwith JB, Ray CG, Keiter MD. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Causes of Sudden Death in Infants. Seattle, Wash:.:University of Washington Press; 1970; Stephen M. Adams, MD; Matthew W. Good, MD; And Gina M. Defranco, DO, “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome,” Am Fam Physician. 2009 May 15;79(10):870-874.]

~ Description of SIDS:

Mayo Clinic: “Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old. SIDS is sometimes known as crib death because the infants often die in their cribs. Although the cause is unknown, it appears that SIDS might be associated with defects in the portion of an infant's brain that controls breathing and arousal from sleep. Researchers have discovered some factors that might put babies at extra risk. They've also identified measures you can take to help protect your child from SIDS. Perhaps the most important is placing your baby on his or her back to sleep.” AKA: “cot death,” “crib death,” “SUDI ("sudden unexpected infant deaths").”
