Introduction Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a disease which causes unexpected death of infants aged less than 1 year. Given the undeniable role of parents in the presence or absence of SIDS risk factors, the present study aimed to study the prevalence and the relationship between characteristics and conditions of parent's infants with SIDS risk factors. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study, 1,021 infants aged 1 to 12 months in the health centers in Qom-Iran in 2014 were selected as the sample by stratified random sampling method. The required data were collected using an author-made questionnaire on SIDS risk factors. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS 18 at a significance level of 95%. Results 4.5% of mothers were younger than 20 years, 92.3% infants had a co-sleeping with their parents, and 35.7% of infants had a bed-sharing with their parents. 19% of infants used Soft pillow.

Identification of Risk Factors and the Preventive Measures for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
https://www.ijrrjournal.com/IJRR\_Vol.5\_Issue.11\_Nov2018/Abstract\_IJRR0016.html, 2018
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) also known as crib death is a diagnosis that is made when an apparently healthy baby dies unexpectedly and for no clear reason. Deaths that remain unexplained even after thorough investigation, autopsy, and clinical history are classified as SIDS. An average of 133 babies have died each year over the past five years in cases where co-sleeping is a factor, according to Department for Education data. It revealed 141 children died while co-sleeping in 2017, compared with 131 in 2016, 121 in 2015, 141 in 2014 and 131 in 2013. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) occurs less frequently in the first month of life, peaks between 2 and 4 months of age, and decreases thereafter. Prone sleeping (placing an infant to sleep on his/her stomach), bed sharing, parents not sleeping in the same room as the infant, an infant not using a pacifier during sleep, overheating, and maternal smoking during pregnancy have been suggested as contributing factors for SIDS. There is no guaranteed way to prevent SIDS, but you can help your baby sleep more safely by following certain preventive measures. In this article we focus on the identification of risk factors for SIDS based on triple risk model and prevention of risk factors for SIDS. Mothers and family members should be aware of the prevention methods for SIDS. This review is beneficial to all medical practitioners as well as mothers and family members with a newborn.

Background: Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden and unexplained death of a baby younger than 1 year old. Aim of the study: Evaluate the risk factors related to mothers, infant, home, sleep environment, preventing practice. Implement the promoting program regarding strategies to prevent SIDS. Examine the efficiency of the promoting program on mother's knowledge and practice towards SIDS. Estimate the association between mother's knowledge related risk factor and preventing practice with their socio-demographic characteristics. Tool I: Part 1: Socio-demographic data for mothers and their infant. Part2: pre/post questionnaire for evaluation home and sleep environment and their risk factors related infant and their mothers. Tool II: Interviewing pre/post questionnaire for preventing practice include knowledge and practice to prevent sudden infant death syndrome. Results: more than two third of the mothers were less than thirty years and had university education. While 55% of father infant was smoker and with boys' gender at the age from 3 to 6 months. The of the mothers improved their knowledge post program specifically in the elements of avoid co-bedding for twins, overheating, prenatal care, avoid smoking and prone and side infant position. The majority of the mothers were had adequate knowledge post program related to risk factor and preventing practice of SIDS compared to pre-program. There was highly statistically significant difference at P=0.01. Conclusion: Henceforth, with working of this study, we can promotion of SIDS and controlling these risk factors through enriching level of mother's alertness by education is essential. Recommendation: Parents essential to recognize the recent finest practices to decrease the incidence of sleep-related SIDS and highpoints advices to aid parents confirm safe sleep surroundings for infants.

Sudden infant death syndrome: How much mothers and health professionals know
Pediatrics International, 2011
Background: Behavioral risk factors are associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Education about the risk factors of SIDS is important for prevention. Our aim was to determine the knowledge and attitude of parents and health professionals about SIDS. Methods: A total of 174 health professionals and 150 mothers were enrolled in this study. Mothers' data were collected by telephone interview and health-care professionals were interviewed by the same investigator. Results: Only 39% of mothers were aware of SIDS. Forty-six percent of the mothers preferred a supine sleeping position for their infant and 16% of the parents were bed-sharing with their infants. Seventy-three percent of health professionals selected side, 17% supine and 10% prone sleeping position as the safest sleeping position. Frequencies for awareness of risk factors were: bed-sharing (75%), soft bedding (70%), pillow use (52%), toys in bed (90%), high room temperature (67%) and smoking (88%). Total knowledge score of health professionals who selected supine sleeping position as the safest was significantly higher (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Most of the mothers were unaware of SIDS and less than half preferred a supine sleeping position for their infant. Only 72% of health professionals recommended a certain sleeping position during family interviews. Health professionals are more often recommending the side sleeping position or prone. Education of families and health professionals for the risk factors of SIDS may reduce the number of deaths from SIDS in Istanbul.

Assessment of Mothers’ Knowledge and Practicesabout the Prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Mansoura Nursing Journal, 2021
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a common cause of infant mortality belowone year, and its causes remain unknown. However, simple protective practices in infantsleep and sleep environment can dramatically reduce its incidence. Aim: Assess themothers’ knowledge and practices for the prevention of SIDS. Method:Descriptiveresearch was conducted in postnatal department at general hospital in Kafrelsheikh city,Egypt, on 180 newly delivered mothers, free from eclampsia, chronic diseases and adelivered baby didn’t have health problem as neonatal jaundice or respiratory distresssyndrome. Interview questionnaire sheet was used to collect data about characteristics ofmothers and their infant; mothers’ knowledge and practices about SIDS. Results:Morethan three-quarters of mothers (85.00%) had poor knowledge level comared to only 10.6%and 4.4% of them had average and good knowledge level about SIDS. Besides, about halfof the studied mothers (44.4%) were unsatisfactory about SIDS. Conclusi...
Risk factors for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in Romanian population
Rom J Leg Med, 2010
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome represents one of the most frequent causes of death in children of one year or less. We analyzed SIDS cases from Bucharest and surrounding areas on a ten year period (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008), totaling a number of 298 cases, in order to determine the most important risk factors and possible interventional strategies. Our study revealed five major risk factors for SIDS on which we can intervene: bedding, supine sleeping position, maternal smoking, prematurity, and low birth weight. Awareness increasing campaigns, similar to "Back to sleep", associated with a better legal framework for child supportan decrease the total number of SIDS cases.

Avon SIDS epidemiology paper 18/11/2008 1 draft Acknowledgement. Abstract 249 words (limit 250 words) Background: Recent case-control studies suggest the epidemiology of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) may have changed since the 1991 'Back to Sleep' campaign and subsequent fall in rates. A unique collection of longitudinal data is used to measure these potential changes. Methods: Population-based data from home visits have been collected for 369 consecutive unexpected infant deaths (300 SIDS and 69 explained deaths) in Avon over a 20 -year period (1984-2003). Data collected between 1993-6 from 1300 control infants with a chosen sleep prior to interview has also been used for reference. Findings: Social deprivation was increasingly more common amongst SIDS families; the proportion of social class IV,V & unemployed families rose from 47% to 74% (p<0.003), 86% of the mothers smoke, 40% are now single, and 16% are aged less than 20. Although many SIDS infants come from large families, first-born infants are now the most common group. The proportion of co-sleeping SIDS deaths increased from 12% to 50% (p<0.0001), but the actual number of SIDS deaths in the parental bed fell significantly (p=0.01). This rise in proportion is due partly to the limited effect of the "Back to Sleep" campaign on factors in this sleeping environment and partly to a rise in the number of bedsharing deaths on sofas. Infants who die as SIDS whilst bedsharing are now 4-5 weeks younger at death than in the 1980's. Interpretation: Changes in the epidemiology of SIDS have implications both in the interpretation of causal mechanisms and how we should conduct future studies.
