The aim of this study was to measure the effect of bed-sharing during the last sleep period on risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: It is unclear if it is safe for babies to bed share with adults. In Ireland 49% of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases occur when the infant is bed-sharing with an adult. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of bed-sharing during the last sleep period on risk factors for SIDS in Irish infants. DESIGN: An 8 year (1994-2001) population based case control study of 287 SIDS more...

The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome in the sleeping environment of Irish infants
Abstract:
AIM: To identify risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in the sleeping environment of Irish infants. METHODS: A five year population based case-control study with parental interviews conducted for each case and three controls matched for age, place of birth, and last sleep period. A total of 203 SIDS cases and 622 control infants born 1994-98 were studied. RESULTS: In a more...

The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of sudden unexpected death in infancy from autopsy reports between April 1996 and August 2001 were reviewed and linked to temporal factors
Abstract:
In recent years, many babies who die of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) in Northern Ireland are found dead in bed--i.e. co-sleeping--with an adult. In order to assess its frequency autopsy reports between April 1996 and August 2001 were reviewed and linked to temporal factors. The day and month of death, and the place where the baby was found were compared to a reference more...

The aim of this study was to examine the epidemiological factors associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome to give a general profile of SID cases occurring in Ireland between the years 1993 to 1997
Abstract:
This paper examines some epidemiological factors associated with SIDS to give a general profile of SIDS cases occurring in Ireland between the years 1993 to 1997. There has been a dramatic decrease in the incidence of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in the Republic of Ireland in the last decade from an average rate of 2.2/1000 live-births in the 1980s to 0.8/1000 live-births in more...
