First Year Of Life

The importance of social factors in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has been proved, but their contribution to the unexpected out-of-hospital sudden infant death (OSID) has not yet been executed. There is presented the importance of social risk factors for OSID in 336 babies suddenly died beyond the hospital (1st group) in comparison with the 350 babies died in the hospital (2nd group). In 85.7%, several adverse factors were revealed, in 27.4% - in the 2nd group. Low socio-economic status of the family in the 1st group was observed in 34% of cases, and in the 2nd group - in 8% of cases. In the first group the number of antisocial families with the mother or both parents being alcohol or drug abuse appeared by 5 times more. In the 1st group the number of families with unregistered marriage and single mothers were 3.1 times more than in the 2nd group. 20.8% of women in Group 1 were not observed in antenatal clinics during pregnancy, and 12% of persons in this group and children remained without medical and dispensary supervision. Thus, families with a low socioeconomic level and antisocial families are a group of high-risk OSID infants of the first year of life, which determines the need for the active preventive work of health authorities and guardianship, the migration service and law enforcement agencies.

Two cases of sudden infant death (cot death) are described, occurring within 5 days of each other, in the same house, with identical pulmonary pathology but in unrelated families. The cases illustrate the interrelationship of infection and unfavourable social factors peculiar to many cases of sudden infant death. They also point to the importance of environmental rather than genetic factors as a cause of ‘clusters’ of cot deaths in families.
