This indicator shows the number of deaths within the first year of life due to sudden unexpected infant death (ICD-10 codes: R95 (SIDS), R99 (Unknown Cause), and W75 (Accidental Suffocation and Strangulation in Bed)) per 1,000 live births.
Why is this important?
Sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs) are defined as a death in infants less than 1 year of age that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly, and whose cause of death is not immediately obvious prior to investigation. Each year in the United States, about 4,000 infants die suddenly of no immediately, obvious cause. About half of these SUIDs are due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the leading cause of SUID and of all deaths among infants aged 1–12 months. The three most frequently reported causes of SUID are SIDS, cause unknown, and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed.
