[Clinico-epidemiological comparisons of different cases of sudden death in infants during the first year of life].
Altogether 162 cases of sudden death of children under one year of age, that ensued outside hospitals in the city of Leningrad in 1987-1989 were analyzed. In 69 cases (42.6%), the syndrome of sudden death was ascertained as the main diagnosis whereas in 93 cases (57.4%), the babies' death ensued as a result of life-threatening conditions. Epidemiologic correlations allowed one to state that formation of sudden death risk is primarily influenced by unfavourable familial social demographic factors and specific moments of the mother's obstetrical and gynecologic anamnesis. During the neonatal period, the children who succumbed to the syndrome of sudden death had a number of suggestive phenotypic characteristics. The authors express their opinion about the clinicoepidemiologic specificity of sudden death that makes the given syndrome differ from other variants of sudden death of children under one year of age.
