Overview

Common complications of SIDS include sudden unexplained death. Depending on the risk factors for recurrence, the prognosis may vary for SIDS. SIDS is typically unexplained death during without any prior symptoms.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • The symptoms of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) usually develop in between one month and one year of age in the United States.[1]
  • SIDS is typically unexplained death during without any prior symptoms.

Complications

  • Common complications of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) include:[2][3]
    • Women whose infants die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are highly likely to have complications in their following pregnancies with the following:
      • Placenta previa
      • Abruptio placenta
      • Premature rupture of membranes

Prognosis

  • Depending on the risk factors for recurrence, the prognosis may vary for SIDS, which include apparent life-threatening events (ALTE).[4][5][6][7][8]
  • History of multiple events preceding the hospital admission, and infections that are viral in nature also play a important role in determining the prognosis in SIDS victims.
