however, the mechanism/s for this are unknown. As impaired cardiovascular control may be …

Background: Preterm infants are at increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Use of a dummy/pacifier is thought to be protective against SIDS; accordingly, we assessed …

Objective: The risk for sudden infant death (SIDS) was postulated to decrease with the use of
a pacifier and by conditions increasing parasympathetic tonus during sleep. We evaluated …

Aim Impaired arousal from sleep has been implicated in sudden infant death syndrome
(SIDS). Sleeping in the prone position is a major risk factor for SIDS. Epidemiological studies …

Background: Pacifier use has been postulated to decrease the risk of sudden infant death
syndrome (SIDS). The responsible mechanisms are, however, unclear. Objectives: Since …

Objective: To evaluate the influence of a brief period of sleep deprivation on cardiac
autonomic controls during sleep in healthy infants. Design: Twelve healthy infants with a …

Objectives To examine the association between use of a dummy (pacifier) during sleep and
the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in relation to other risk factors. Design …

BACKGROUND Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has been most recently defined as
the sudden unexpected death of an infant less than 1 year of age, with onset of the fatal …

The large decline in deaths due to the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in the last 20
years in many countries is largely due to risk‐reduction advice resulting from observational …

Objective: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is associated with prone sleeping, and
circulatory failure has been hypothesised to be a factor in the fatal event. We aimed to …
