Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse Resulting in Newborn Death in the United States
Background: The sudden collapse of an apparently healthy newborn, or sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) is fatal in about half of cases. Epidemiological characteristics of sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) in the first week of life differ from those in the postperinatal age group (7-365 days). Aim: To describe the characteristics of SUPC resulting in neonatal death. Methods: We analyzed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Birth Cohort Linked Birth/Infant Death Data Set (2003-2013: 41,125,233 births and 37,624 SUIDs).
