Accelerated Vaccination Program In U.K. Not Linked To SIDS.(Brief Article)
2001 JUN 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
by N.R. Saltmarsh, staff medical writer - Immunization does not render a child more vulnerable to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and may, in fact, offer some protection from unexplained infant death.
P.J. Fleming and a research team in England investigated the relationship between SIDS and immunization in children following institution of an accelerated vaccination schedule in the U.K.
After fine-tuning the comparisons between SIDS cases and controls, they found similar immunization patterns and were unable to attribute heightened risk for SIDS to vaccination schedules.
Fleming and coworkers interviewed parents of 325 infants who had died of SIDS, 72 infants with explained sudden deaths, and 1588 controls. Each infant death was matched to four controls for age, locality, and time of sleep.
Parents were able to provide immunization details for 93% of all children in the study.
After the researchers controlled for all potential confounding factors, immunization was strongly associated with a lower risk of SIDS (odds ratio 0.45), but that difference became insignificant after further adjustment for the infant's sleeping environment.
