Overview

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a rare syndrome which follows autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is one of the leading cause of infant death especially ages between one month and one year in the United States of America.

In 1969, Horgan was the first to coin the term SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)
In 1982, Kelly et al was the first to discover the apneic periods in newborn sibs of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).^[1]^[2]^[3]
In 1986, Bass et al was the first to report accidental asphyxiation of infants by the objects on the crib or violent shaking which will eventually results in very severe form called shaken baby syndrome.
In 1986, Smialek was the first to collect information on infants twins who died suddenly and simultaneously.^[4]
In 1992, Filiano and Kinney was the first to report the association between developmental hypoplasia of the arcuate nucleus and developing of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).^[5]
In 1995, Pinholster cited about the breathing pattern and the conditions that can predispose to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
In 2004, Mage and Donner gave a detailed explanations on infant respiratory mortality that happened in the regions of U.S., U.K., and Scandinavia.^[6]
