Abstract

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2011), more than 4,500 infants die annually in the United States of no apparent cause of death. These deaths are defined as sudden unexplained infant deaths (SUID). Half of these SUIDs are because of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is defined as the sudden death of an infant less than 1 year of age that remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of clinical history (Willinger, James, & Catz, 1991).
