“…[312][313][314][315] Casecontrol studies were performed to evaluate this temporal association. Four of the 6 studies found no relationship between diphtheria-tetanuspertussis vaccination and subsequent SIDS, [316][317][318][319] and results of the other 2 studies suggested a temporal relationship but only in specific subgroup anal- [323][324][325] ; however, confounding factors (social, maternal, birth, and infant medical history) might account for this protective effect. 326 It also has been theorized that the decreased SIDS rate immediately after vaccination was attributable to infants being healthier at time of immunization, or "the healthy vaccinee effect."…”

Despite a major decrease in the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) since the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released its recommendation in 1992 that infants be placed for sleep in a nonprone position, this decline has plateaued in recent years. Concurrently, other causes of sudden unexpected infant death occurring during sleep (sleep-related deaths), including suffocation, asphyxia, and entrapment, and ill-defined or unspecified causes of death have increased in incidence, particularly since the AAP published its last statement on SIDS in 2005. It has become increasingly important to address these other causes of sleep-related infant death. Many of the modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for SIDS and suffocation are strikingly similar. The AAP, therefore, is expanding its recommendations from being only SIDS-focused to focusing on a safe sleep environment that can reduce the risk of all sleep-related infant deaths including SIDS. The recommendations described in this report include supine positioning, use of a firm sleep surface, breastfeeding, room-sharing without bed-sharing, routine immunization, consideration of a pacifier, and avoidance of soft bedding, overheating, and exposure to tobacco smoke, alcohol, and illicit drugs. The rationale for these recommendations is discussed in detail in this technical report. The recommendations are published in the accompanying “Policy Statement—Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Other Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Expansion of Recommendations for a Safe Infant Sleeping Environment,” which is included in this issue (www.pediatrics.org/cgi/doi/10.1542/peds.2011-2220).

“…In our review, 19 of 24 studies satisfied all 6 criteria; the failed criteria of 5 studies are listed in Table 1. 2,9,16,19,32 Another study could not be included because the ORs were presented in a way that was not compatible with our analyses, 33 which resulted in a total of 18 studies for the meta-analysis.…”

“…Two reviewers (Dr Hauck and Ms Tanabe) reviewed all pulled articles for inclusion and for overlapping data. Twenty-four original case-control studies that provided data on the relationship between breastfeeding and SIDS risk 2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][14][15][16][17][18][19][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] were identified. Two teams of 2 reviewers independently evaluated 12 studies each according to preset criteria; in cases of disagreement, a third reviewer evaluated the study, and a consensus opinion was reached.…”

“…Physiologic sleep studies have shown that breastfed infants have lower arousal thresholds than formula-fed infants, 3,4 which may provide a mechanism for protection against SIDS. However, epidemiologic studies have been inconsistent in showing a protective effect of breastfeeding on the risk of SIDS; some study results have supported a protective effect, [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and others have not. 2,5,8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The authors of a meta-analysis and qualitative literature review published in 2000 concluded that there was a statistically significant increase in SIDS risk for bottle-fed infants.…”

Breastfeeding and Reduced Risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: A Meta-analysis

CONTEXT: Benefits of breastfeeding include lower risk of postneonatal mortality. However, it is unclear whether breastfeeding specifically lowers sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) risk, because study results have been conflicting. OBJECTIVE:To perform a meta-analysis to measure the association between breastfeeding and SIDS. METHODS:We identified 288 studies with data on breastfeeding and SIDS through a Medline search (1966 -2009), review articles, and metaanalyses. Twenty-four original case-control studies were identified that provided data on the relationship between breastfeeding and SIDS risk. Two teams of 2 reviewers evaluated study quality according to preset criteria; 6 studies were excluded, which resulted in 18 studies for analysis. Univariable and multivariable odds ratios were extracted. A summary odds ratio (SOR) was calculated for the odds ratios by using the fixed-effect and random-effect inverse-variance methods of metaanalysis. The Breslow-Day test for heterogeneity was performed. RESULTS:For infants who received any amount of breast milk for any duration, the univariable SOR was 0.40 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35-0.44), and the multivariable SOR was 0.55 (95% CI: 0.44 -0.69). For any breastfeeding at 2 months of age or older, the univariable SOR was 0.38 (95% CI: 0.27-0.54). The univariable SOR for exclusive breastfeeding of any duration was 0.27 (95% CI: 0.24 -0.31). CONCLUSIONS:Breastfeeding is protective against SIDS, and this effect is stronger when breastfeeding is exclusive. The recommendation to breastfeed infants should be included with other SIDS risk-reduction messages to both reduce the risk of SIDS and promote breastfeeding for its many other infant and maternal health benefits.
