“…As in our study, the concurrence of multiple risk factors and the rarity of risk-free SIDS 8,9,[35][36][37][38] have been previously reported. A previous study 37 found at least 1 SIDS risk factor in 96% of cases; 78% had 2 to 7 risks, and only 2 (0.8%) cases were risk-free.…”

“…Acute bronchopneumonia (ABN, Fig. 1) [6] and pulmonary hemorrhage (PH) [7] were assessed based on the following semiquantitative scale: (0) absent; (1) mild; (2) moderate, focal; (3) moderate, multifocal; (4) severe, diffuse. The severity of gastric aspiration (GA) into the lung parenchyma was assessed semiquantitatively according to the following scoring system: (0) absent; (1) very mild, present in less than half of the lung sections; (2) mild, in half of the sections; (3) moderate, in more than half but not all sections; (4) severe, in all sections.…”

“…1 Determination of the cause of SUID can vary on the basis of available scene investigation evidence and the diagnostic practices of certifiers. 2,3 Many SUIDs are associated with unsafe sleep environments. To accurately determine the cause of death for SUID, the medical examiner or coroner needs a thorough scene investigation, detailed clinical history, and autopsy findings.…”

This article describes a multistate population-based surveillance system for monitoring sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs) known as the SUID Case Registry pilot program. The pilot program represents collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for Child Death Review (NCCDR), which is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration. The SUID Case Registry builds on existing child death review system activities and protocols. The objectives of the SUID Case Registry are to collect accurate and consistent population-based data about the circumstances and events associated with SUID cases, to improve the completeness and quality of SUID case investigations, and to use a decision-making algorithm with standardized definitions to categorize SUID cases. States who participate in the pilot program commit to review all SUID cases in their state by using their multidisciplinary state and local child death review teams. These teams request and review data from death scene investigators, medical examiners and coroners, law enforcement, social services, pediatric and obstetric providers, and public health per usual, but as part of the pilot program, supplement their SUID case reviews by discussing additional medical, environmental, and behavioral factors, and entering this data using the NCCDR Web-based Case Reporting System. This new surveillance system aims to improve knowledge of factors surrounding SUID events and improve investigation practices. The surveillance system will allow researchers and program planners to create prevention strategies and interventions, ultimately reducing SUIDs and injury-related infant deaths.
