Overview

There are no established risk factors for [disease name].

OR

The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of SIDS include maternal factors such as age of the mother, smoking history, and prenatal care history, environmental factors which include preterm birth, prone sleeping position, bed-sharing, and overheating.

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.

Common Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of SIDS may be seen more often in mothers who are younger, less educated, and nonwhite, and smoked during the pregnancy.
  • Common risk factors in the development of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) include:[1][2][3][4]

Maternal risk factors

  • Maternal factors which include the following:
    • Maternal age:
      • Mother who are very young in age are more prone to have SIDS conditions
    • Maternal smoking:
      • Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of SIDS
    • Placental abnormalities:
      • Placental abnormalities which include placenta previa, abruptio placentae, premature rupture of membranes or small for gestational age increases the risk of SIDS
    • Prenatal care:
      • Mothers who did not attend prenatal care are at risk of SIDS

Infant risk factors

  • Infant risk factors which include the following:
    • Prematurity
      • When compare to term infants premature infants have higher risk of developing SIDS.
    • Low birth weight
      • The risk of developing SIDS in low to very low weight infanst
    • Sibling of SIDS
    • Twins
    • History of apnea of the infant
    • Sleep position of the infant
    • Sleep environment of the infant

Less Common Risk Factors

  • Less common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include:
    • [Risk factor 1]
    • [Risk factor 2]
    • [Risk factor 3]
