Sudden unexplained death of an infant less than 1 year of age. 90% occur prior to 6 months. Peak rate between 1 – 4 months. Typically previously healthy. Cause of death is unexplained despite a thorough case investigation (autopsy, death scene investigation, clinical history). Introduction Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a phenomenon where an infant under the age of one dies due to unknown reasons. There are speculations that the reasons might include respiratory problems or circulatory problems but doctors have not been able to pinpoint the cause of death yet. One theory in the field is by Dr. McKenna, whose hypothesis is that signaling occurs between mothers and babies when they are cosleeping (sleeping next to each other or are in the same room). This signaling may assist to reset the breathing patterns or the arousal rhythm of sleep which would help some babies who might be susceptible to SIDS. The objective of the study was to test this hypothesis of mothers and babies cosleeping by looking at mathematical equations and relating them to different states of sleep: active and quiet sleep. This was done by modeling sleep in several different ways and by using sleep data from Dr. Thoman Source Centers for Disease Control and PreventionSudden Unexplained Infant Death Investigation p 15-17 237-244 SUID vs SUDISudden Unexplained Infant Death SUIDand Sudden Unexpected Death in Infan Noaimi.
