1472 predictive value of inverse exponential relationship of birthweight and sudden infant death syndrome (sids)


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT A previous report documented that SIDS incidence (SI) was predicted by birthweight (BW) among Oregon infants in 1975-77 by the equation SI= 26.2 e(-0.70 ± 0.05) BW r= 0.987 (Ped.


Res. Apr.79) In 1978 and 1979 after an altered pattern of discharge assessment and selected home monitoring the population of infants born 2.0 Kg. at the major perinatal center (UHN) enjoyed


a significant reduction in SIDS. The statewide risk curve still showed a similar but reduced relationship to birthweight. By excluding the affected population under 2.0 Kg., the equation of


risk for the state was very well matched to the 1975-77 curve. We conclude that a unique equation of risk describes ourpopulation and that it is valuable in documenting the apparent effect


of the prospective program of discharge assessment and monitoring. ARTICLE PDF AUTHOR INFORMATION AUTHORS AND AFFILIATIONS * Univ. of Oregon Health Sciences Center, Dept. of Ped., Portland,
