Inaccurate classification of cause and manner of death hampers prevention efforts and researchers are unable to adequately
monitor national trends, identify risk factors, or evaluate intervention programs. We need valid and reliable data to support research
and prevention efforts if we want to reduce these infant deaths.
In 2003, CDC began leading the effort to revise the 1996 Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID) Reporting Form and Guidelines
for the scene investigation, as well as actively educating and disseminating training materials on infant death scene investigations to
improve inaccurate classification of SUID in the United States. In 2004, CDC's Division of Reproductive Health (DRH) and its
partners implemented additional activities aimed at improving the accuracy and consistency of the reporting and classification of
SUID deaths. These activities included a planned effort to disseminate and promote the use of SUID investigations tools and
materials, and the development of a SUID case registry.
The Sudden Unexplained Infant Death Investigation (SUIDI) goals are to--
* Standardize and improve data collected at infant death scenes.
* Promote consistent diagnosis and reporting of cause and manner of death for SUID cases.
* Prevent SUIDs by using improved data to monitor trends and identify those at risk.
* Improve national reporting of SUID.
Training is available for infant death responders and other community professionals in Kansas. Contact the SIDS Network at
info@sidsks.org for more information.
