[Risk factors for sudden infant death in the practice of Hungarian neonatal departments].
Sudden infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is recognized to be one of the main causes of postneonatal mortality. The WHO Regional Office for Europe was carrying out in 1999 a study at maternity level in SIDS. The study instrument for conducting this survey was a simple questionnaire, and the basis was the fact, that the SIDS has been strongly associated with prone infant sleeping position. The sleep practices are often established as a result of initial advice given to mothers by a nurse or doctors in the maternity hospital. 84 Hungarian maternity unit and hospital participated in this study. The Hungarian results are presented in this paper.
