Early Newborn Metabolic Patterning and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a major cause of infant death in the US. Previous research suggests that inborn errors of metabolism may contribute to SIDS, yet the relationship between SIDS and biomarkers of metabolism remains unclear.

Objective

To evaluate and model the association between routinely measured newborn metabolic markers and SIDS in combination with established risk factors for SIDS.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a case-control study nested within a retrospective cohort using data from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development and the California Department of Public Health. The study population included infants born in California between 2005 and 2011 with full metabolic data collected as part of r
