The recordings of 1197 overnight rectal temperatures from infants of up to 24 weeks of age have been analysed with respect to 12 variables, including a number of risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome. Multivariable regression was used to identify if parental smoking, bottle feeding, sleeping position, and birth weight affect the overnight rectal temperature of infants. The rectal temperature, averaged over the period from three to five hours after the infants were put to bed, correlated well (R = 0.36) with the collected variables. An increase in the infant's age, birth weight, and the supine sleeping position all decreased the night time rectal temperatures. However, an increase in the night time room temperature, weight, and the combination of bottle feeding and parental smoking produced an increase in rectal temperature. The individual effects of bottle feeding and parental smoking were not significant. The results show that some of the major risk factors have the effect of raising the rectal temperature of sleeping infants.
对1197名年龄达24周的婴儿夜间直肠温度记录进行了分析,涉及12个变量,包括一些婴儿猝死综合征的风险因素。采用多变量回归分析来确定父母吸烟、奶瓶喂养、睡眠姿势和出生体重是否会影响婴儿夜间直肠温度。婴儿上床睡觉三到五小时期间的平均直肠温度与所收集的变量相关性良好(R = 0.36)。婴儿年龄增加、出生体重增加以及仰卧睡眠姿势均会使夜间直肠温度降低。然而,夜间室温升高、体重增加以及奶瓶喂养与父母吸烟共同作用会使直肠温度升高。奶瓶喂养和父母吸烟的个体影响并不显著。结果表明,一些主要风险因素会使睡眠中婴儿的直肠温度升高。
