Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant under 1 year of age, Which remains unexplained after the performance of a complete post-mortem investigation, including an autopsy, examination of death scene, and review of the case history. Epidemiological studies carried out in most of western countries have provided evidence for some risk factors for this disease, but in Italy the incidence of SIDS is not known. The aim of the present study was to estimate the incidence of SIDS between 1990 and 2000 in Lombardy, northern Italy, and to provide basic information for a subsequent comparison of the SIDS incidence after the risk intervention campaign still ongoing. SIDS has a low incidence in northern Italy, even when deaths not directly labeled as SIDS are considered. Nevertheless, SIDS remains the most frequent single cause of death during the first year of life after the early neonatal period. |
