Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) refers to the sudden death of a child under 1 year old without a known cause, even after investigation. Researchers use the Triple-Risk Model to explain how SIDS may occur due to unknown medical conditions, physical changes in babies, and external stressors like sleeping position or secondhand smoke exposure. The ICD-10 codes, death rates, gestational age data, and other factors related to SIDS in the US, PA, and Delco are discussed in detail.

What is SIDS? Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) ~ sudden death of a child younger than 1 year of age and without a known cause, even after a full investigation Researchers use the Triple-Risk Model to describe how a SIDS death may happen First, the baby has one or more unknown medical conditions, such as a brain or genetic problem that affects the heart rate or breathing In their first 6 months, babies go through periods of fast growth and changes, such as changes in blood pressure, breathing, and sleeping patterns. During these periods, their body may be unstable and react in unusual or unexpected ways. Lastly, the baby encounters one or more outside stressors, such as being placed on their stomach to sleep or being exposed to secondhand smoke in their environment. These things put additional stress on the body or how it functions. NIH https://safetosleep.nichd.nih.gov/about/causes#framework 2
