To investigate whether soft cot mattresses are a risk factor for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
A follow up postal questionnaire was sent to the subjects who were interviewed 3.8 years (range 2.2 to 5.2 years) previously as part of the New Zealand Cot Death Study, a large nationwide case-control study.
105 European SIDS cases were compared with 828 European controls. Soft cot mattresses were associated with an increased risk of SIDS (adjusted OR = 2.36; 95% CI = 1.06, 5,25) compared with average or hard mattresses. The firmness of the mattress did not interact with the sleeping position of infant.
Soft cot mattresses should be avoided.
调查软婴儿床床垫是否为婴儿猝死综合征(SIDS)的一个风险因素。
一份随访邮寄问卷被发送给那些曾在3.8年前(范围为2.2至5.2年)接受过访谈的受试者,该访谈是新西兰婴儿床死亡研究的一部分,这是一项大型的全国性病例对照研究。
105例欧洲SIDS病例与828例欧洲对照进行了比较。与中等硬度或硬床垫相比,软婴儿床床垫与SIDS风险增加相关(调整后的比值比=2.36;95%置信区间=1.06,5.25)。床垫的硬度与婴儿的睡眠姿势之间没有相互作用。
应避免使用软婴儿床床垫。
