	Dr. Koop - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
		SIDS is the leading cause of death in infants between the ages of one month and 12 months in the U.S. and has an incidence of 1-2/1000 live births or 5,000 to 6,000 deaths per year.
		By definition, the cause of SIDS is unknown.
		The underlying mechanism for these cases of SIDS appears to be an abnormal response to stressors such as changes in blood levels of oxygen or carbon dioxide.

	Sudden infant death syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The frequency of SIDS appears to be a strong function of the age, race, education, and socio-economic status of the parents.
		Controversial British pediatrician Roy Meadow believes that many cases diagnosed as SIDS are really the result of child abuse on the part of a parent suffering from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (a condition which he himself identified).
		Although a 2005 policy statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics on sleep environment and the risk of SIDS condemned all co-sharing and bedsharing as unsafe, empirical data[4] has suggested that almost all SIDS deaths in adult beds occur when other prevention methods, such as placing the infant on his back, are not used.

	SIDS
		SIDS seems to be a combination of many factors: immature development of cardiorespiratory control mechanisms, defective arousability from sleep in response to breathing difficulties, medical conditions that compromise breathing, and unsafe sleeping practices.
		Yet the number of SIDS infants who rolled from their sides to the front position in the Avon study, led experts in England and New Zealand to suggest that the risk of SIDS for side-sleeping may be two times that of back-sleeping.
		SIDS is the sudden death of an infant under one year of age that remains unexplained after of a complete post-mortem investigation, including an autopsy, an examination of the scene of death, and a review of the case history.

	Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
		SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants who are 1 month to 1 year old, and claims the lives of about 2,500 infants each year in the United States.
		Most SIDS deaths are associated with sleep (hence the common reference to "crib death"), and infants who die of SIDS show no signs of suffering.
		The striking evidence that stomach sleeping might contribute to the incidence of SIDS led the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to recommend in 1992 that all healthy infants younger than 1 year of age be put to sleep on their backs (also known as the supine position).

		Other risk factors for SIDS include a lack of prenatal care, low birth weight and drug and alcohol abuse by the parents, but these risks are considered lower than those for sleep position and tobacco exposure.
		Risk of SIDS associated with passive smoking by the mother, father, live-in adults, and day care providers; smoking in the same room as the infant; total number of cigarettes smoked by all adults; and maternal smoking during the time period of breast-feeding.

		Therefore, although the carotid bodies of SIDS victims appear to be morphologically similar to the control groups, the carotid body may present a neurotransmitter dysfunction which leads to an abnormality of respiratory control.
		It is also clear that although the exact pathology is not known, SIDS must somehow involve alveolar hypoxia leading to prolonged apneic spells The cause of SIDS must lie in the area of the neuronal control of the respiratory and/or cardiac systems.
