What Is SIDS?
This NSIDRC publication addresses the following:

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden death of an infant under 1 year of age which remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history (Willinger et al., 1991).

What SIDS is
the major cause of death in infants from 1 month to 1 year of age, with most deaths occurring between 2 and 4 months
sudden and silent—the infant was seemingly healthy
a death often associated with sleep and with no signs of suffering a recognized medical disorder determined only after an autopsy, an examination of the death scene, and a review of the infant's and family's clinical histories a diagnosis of exclusion
an infant death that leaves unanswered questions, causing intense grief for parents and families

Answer 3

It claims 2,500 babies each year.

As the name implies, SIDS is the sudden and unexplained death of an infant who is younger than 1 year old. It is a frightening prospect because it can strike without warning, usually in a seemingly healthy infant. Most SIDS deaths are associated with sleep (hence the common reference to "crib death"), and infants who die of SIDS show no signs of suffering.

While most conditions or diseases usually are diagnosed by the presence of specific symptoms, most SIDS diagnoses come only after all other possible causes of death have been ruled out through a review of the infant's medical history and environment. This review helps distinguish true SIDS deaths from those resulting from accidents, abuse, and previously undiagnosed conditions, such as cardiac or metabolic disorders.

When considering which babies could be most at risk, no single risk factor is likely to be sufficient to cause a SIDS death. Rather, several risk factors combined may contribute to cause an at-risk infant to die of SIDS.

Most deaths due to SIDS occur between 2 and 4 months of age, and incidence increases during cold weather. African-American infants are twice as likely and Native American infants are about three times more likely to die of SIDS than caucasian infants. More boys than girls fall victim to SIDS.

Other potential risk factors include:

* smoking, drinking, or drug use during pregnancy
* poor prenatal care
* prematurity or low birth-weight
* mothers younger than 20
* smoke exposure following birth
* overheating from excessive sleepwear and bedding
* stomach sleeping

Answer 4

A lack of answers is part of what makes sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) so frightening. SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants who are 1 month to 1 year old, and claims the lives of about 2,500 infants each year in the United States. It remains unpredictable despite years of research. Even so, you can take steps to help reduce the risk of SIDS in your infant. First and foremost, put your infant to sleep on his or her back if the baby is younger than 1 year old.

SIDS is diagnosed post mortem. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
The reasons why it happens aren't really completely known but they have several theories. Basically the baby stops breathing for unknown reasons.

SIDS is not a diagnoses it's a cause of death. It's not a disease you're diagnosed with and battle. It's determined in an autopsy.

Answer 7

SIDS isn't a diagnosis, it's a cause of death. Therefore, no children survive SIDS.
