Etiology

  • risk factors may be age-dependent[10]
    • predominant risk factor for younger infants is bed-sharing
    • whereas rolling to prone, with objects in the sleep area, is the predominant risk factor for older infants
  • other risk factors[6]
  • accidental strangulation & suffocation[16]
    • mean age at death was 3.8 months
    • sleep location: crib or bassinet (31%), adult bed (23%), sofa or chair (19%)
    • position: wedged (43%), on top of an object (26%), covered (8%)
    • implicated objects: pillows (25%), mattresses (21%), blankets (13%), walls (12%)
    • sleep surface sharing
      • infant position was most frequently overlaying by an adult or child (51%) or wedging (45%)
      • location was usually a sofa or chair (74%)[16]

Epidemiology

  • incidence 76/100,000 live births in 1998 USA
    • incidence has increased from 12 to 28 per 100,000 people 1999-2015[19]
  • > 50% of U.S. infants sleep with blankets, pillows, or other potentially dangerous bedding despite recommendations against this[12]
  • < 1/2 of women always place infant in supine position to sleep[17]
    • black (vs white) women & womwn who did not complete high school more likely to place infant in prone position[17]
  • unsafe infant sleep habits are still common[18]
    • 22% of mothers most often put infant to sleep on their side or stomach
    • nonsupine infant positioning highest among non-Hispanic blacks, younger & less educated mothers
    • 2/3 of mothers share bed with infant
    • 1/3 of mothers use soft bedding like bumpers in the crib
