Overview

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is one of the major cause of death in infants especially whose age range between one month to one year in United States of America. The incidence of SIDS is low but it is higher in some ethnic groups in America.

Developed Countries and Developing Countries

  • Countries like Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and United States who implemented Back to Sleep program which means encouraging non-prone sleeping positions decreased the incidence of SIDS.
  • In United States the incidence of SIDS decreased dramatically after the implementation of American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) strategy of placing the infant in in a supine position for sleep.[11][12][13]
