Is there a link between cot death and child abuse?

J Roberts, J Golding, J Keeling

    British Medical Journal (Clinical Research Ed.)
    |September 29, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Child abuse risk factors do not predict sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). While four factors showed no difference, mothers of SIDS infants sometimes needed feeding support.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) shares epidemiological similarities with child abuse.
    • Previous research identified five factors predictive of child abuse.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if factors predicting child abuse also predict SIDS.
    • To compare risk factors between SIDS cases and matched controls.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study comparing 45 infants with SIDS to 134 matched controls.
    • Matching criteria included maternal age, social class, parity, and year of birth.

    Main Results:

    • Four of the five child abuse predictive factors did not distinguish SIDS cases from controls.
    • A slight increase was observed in mothers of SIDS infants needing feeding support.

    Conclusions:

    • Child abuse predictive factors are not predictive of SIDS.
    • Feeding support needs may be a subtle indicator in SIDS cases.
