Purpose:

  • To investigate bed sharing as a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
  • To compare SIDS cases before and after the back-to-sleep campaign.
  • To analyze risk factors including bed sharing, parental smoking, and breastfeeding.

Summary:

  • A case-control study analyzed SIDS cases and 244 live controls, focusing on infants aged 0-2 months.
  • Bed sharing emerged as a significant risk factor for SIDS in infants under two months (OR 5.3).
  • Bed sharing with a smoking mother showed a substantially increased risk (OR 16).
