Abstract
Clinical and demographic variables in sudden unexplained infant death (SIDS) and sudden unexplained intrauterine death (SIUD) in Wirral between 1995 and 2001 were compared. In comparison with SIUD mothers of SIDS cases were younger and the families were more deprived. There were non-significant trends towards greater maternal body mass index and lower birth weight standard deviation score among the SIUD cases. Antenatal glycosuria occurred in 16% of the SIUD cases and none of the SIDS cases. Families experiencing SIDS and SIUD show significant clinical and demographic differences suggesting that pre-natal and postnatal factors exert differing degrees of influence in each condition.
