Causes of Infant Mortality in US

Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID)
Deaths in infants less than 1 year of age that occur suddenly and unexpectedly, and whose cause of death are not immediately obvious.
In 2010, 2,063 deaths were SIDS, 918 Undetermined, and 629 accidental suffocation and strangulation within sleep environment.

Diagnostic Shift in SUID after Back to Sleep
SIDS went from 120 to 54.6/100,000
Suffocation went from 3.1 to 12.5/100,000
Undetermined went from 19.7 to 25.3/100,000

SIDS is an autopsy diagnosis
Classic>21 days < 9 mos
No significant history
No similar deaths among siblings
Safe sleep environment
Negative autopsy
Category II< 21 days > 9 mos
Neonatal or perinatal conditions
Similar deaths among siblings
Mechanical asphyxia
Nonspecific changes
Unclassified SIDSDo not meet Category I or II
Alternative diagnoses for natural or unnatural conditions are equivocal
Include cases where no autopsy performed
Category II = Suffocation Unclassifed=Undetermined Cause of Death

Exogenous Stressors: Extrinsic Risks
Infant Sleep Practices Shared Sleep Surface
Tappin 2005Risk of SUID and shared sleep surfaceCase control study
Shared sleep surface increased risk even when breastfeedingHighest risk with shared sleep surface:
Less than 11 weeksSmokingCouchBetween two adults in an adult bed

Exogenous Stressors: Extrinsic Risks
Infant Sleep Practices Shared Sleep Surface
Vennemann et al 2012Meta-analysis of 11 studies
Bed sharing strongly increases the risk of SUID. This risk is greatest:
Parents smoke Infants who are <12 weeks of age.
May also a significant interaction between bed sharing and SUID when:
Parents use alcohol and drugs, Infants sleep on sofas with adults

Exogenous Stressors: Extrinsic Risks
Infant Sleep Practices Naïve Prone SleepersDaycare deathsCote (2000)
Autopsy studyInfants inexperienced with prone sleeping more likely to die when first placed prone
Palusszynska (2004)Live infantsInfants inexperienced with prone sleeping have fewer protective movements when placed prone

SUID in the Post Back-To-Sleep era
“Using 2005 to 2008 data from 9 US states to assess 3136 sleep relatedsudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs); only 25% of infants were sleeping in a crib or on their back when found; 70% were on a surface not intended for infant sleep (e.g., adult bed).Importantly, 64% of infants were sharing a sleep surface, and almost half of these infants were sleeping with an adult.”
Schnitzer et al J Amer Public Health 2012
S L I D E 20
SUID in the Post Back-To-Sleep era
“Between 1991–1993 and 1996–2008, the percentage of infants found prone decreased from 84.0% to 48.5% , bed-sharing increased from 19.2% to 37.9% especially among infants < 2 months (29.0% vs 63.8%)”
“ The occurrence of extrinsic risks in virtually all (cases) implies that SUID is precipitated by a ‘trigger’ at the time of death…that are consistent with asphyxia generating conditions ( face-down position, prone position, and adult mattress).”

Why a priority for DCF
• Children involved with DCF at high risk• Factors include:
– substance use, – multiple stressors (poverty, parental isolation and lack of
social supports); – domestic violence – mental health challenges (depression)
S L I D E 44
Strategies for DCF
• Education– DCF Workers– Families and caregivers DCF serves – Providers who work with families we serve (CPA, – Statewide initiative
• Policy and Practice Guide – Monitoring practice– Documentation– Direct support to families
• Assessing sleeping arrangements• Accessing safe sleep furniture / supplies
– Partnering with pediatricians / home visitors
