Risk factors for unexpected infant death among very premature infants in France

CONCLUSION: This study confirms prematurity as a risk factor for SUID with no difference in the SUID-specific risk factors studied except for breastfeeding and socioeconomic status of the fathers. VPI and FTI died at similar chronological ages with a high proportion of infants dying in prone position. These results argue for reinforcement of prevention strategies in cases of prematurity.PMID:38538469 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2023.12.003
