Pediatrics. 1996 Dec;98(6 Pt 1):1216-8.
This statement provides an update to the June 1992 American Academy of Pediatrics' policy, "Infant Positioning and SIDS," which recommended that healthy term infants be placed on their sides or backs to sleep. Recent data show that the original policy appears to have had a positive effect in decreasing the prevalence of prone sleeping significantly. Simultaneously, the SIDS rate in the United States has also dropped. New data also suggest that the supine position confers the lowest risk; however, the side position is still significantly safer than the prone position. Additional information regarding sleeping surface and exceptions to these recommendations are addressed.
本声明是对1992年6月美国儿科学会政策《婴儿睡眠姿势与婴儿猝死综合征》的更新，该政策建议健康足月儿应侧卧或仰卧睡觉。近期数据表明，原政策在显著降低俯卧睡眠的流行率方面似乎产生了积极影响。与此同时，美国的婴儿猝死综合征发生率也有所下降。新数据还表明，仰卧姿势的风险最低；然而，侧卧姿势仍比俯卧姿势安全得多。文中还讨论了有关睡眠表面的更多信息以及这些建议的例外情况。
