Aim: To review sudden unexpected infants deaths (SUDI) in the first 28 days of life referred to a Coronial Perinatal Forensic Pathology Service over a 10-year period from 2000 to 2009. Methods: Cases were collected from mortuary records and a retrospective review of autopsy reports, and other available infant records was undertaken. Results: Twenty-four neonatal SUDI deaths were reviewed. For eight infants a diagnosis was found at autopsy. For the remaining 16 infants, 14 (87.5%) were bedsharing at the time of death. Maori infants and those living in deprived neighbourhoods were over-represented. Only two infants were preterm and four were growth restricted. At postmortem white matter gliosis was found in 10 of the 16 (62.5%) unexplained SUDI cases. Conclusion: SUDI deaths occur in the first month of life in association with bedsharing. Gliosis may be an important associated risk factor and its presence indicates a previous insult of prenatal onset. |
