Approximately 3500 infants die annually in the United States from sleep-related infant deaths, including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), ill-defined deaths, and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed. After an initial decrease in the 1990s, the overall sleep-related infant death rate has not declined in more recent years. Many of the modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths are strikingly similar. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a safe sleep environment that can reduce the risk of all sleep-related infant deaths. Recommendations for a safe sleep environment include supine positioning, use of a firm sleep surface, room-sharing without bed-sharing, and avoidance of soft bedding and overheating. Additional recommendations for SIDS risk reduction include avoidance of exposure to smoke, alcohol, and illicit drugs; breastfeeding; routine immunization; and use of a pacifier. New evidence and rationale for recommendations are presented for skin-to-skin care for newborn infants, bedside and in-bed sleepers, sleeping on couches/armchairs and in sitting devices, and use of soft bedding after 4 months of age. In addition, expanded recommendations for infant sleep location are included. The recommendations and strength of evidence for each recommendation are published in the accompanying policy statement, “SIDS and Other Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Updated 2016 Recommendations for a Safe Infant Sleeping Environment,” which is included in this issue.

Despite a major decrease in the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) since the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released its recommendation in 1992 that infants be placed for sleep in a nonprone position, this decline has plateaued in recent years. Concurrently, other causes of sudden unexpected infant death occurring during sleep (sleep-related deaths), including suffocation, asphyxia, and entrapment, and ill-defined or unspecified causes of death have increased in incidence, particularly since the AAP published its last statement on SIDS in 2005. It has become increasingly important to address these other causes of sleep-related infant death. Many of the modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for SIDS and suffocation are strikingly similar. The AAP, therefore, is expanding its recommendations from being only SIDS-focused to focusing on a safe sleep environment that can reduce the risk of all sleep-related infant deaths including SIDS. The recommendations described in this report include supine positioning, use of a firm sleep surface, breastfeeding, room-sharing without bed-sharing, routine immunization, consideration of a pacifier, and avoidance of soft bedding, overheating, and exposure to tobacco smoke, alcohol, and illicit drugs. The rationale for these recommendations is discussed in detail in this technical report. The recommendations are published in the accompanying “Policy Statement—Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Other Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Expansion of Recommendations for a Safe Infant Sleeping Environment,” which is included in this issue (www.pediatrics.org/cgi/doi/10.1542/peds.2011-2220).

Palabras clave:  Síndrome de la muerte súbita del lactante  SMSL Resumen Abstract Sudden infant death syndrome (Part 2). Preventive activitiesEl síndrome de la muerte súbita del lactante (SMSL) constituye la principal causa de mortalidad en lactantes entre un mes y un año de vida en países desarrollados. Su incidencia ha decrecido drástica-mente en países en los que se ha adoptado la posición supina; sin embargo, en los últimos años este descenso se ha estabilizado. Puesto que en más del 95% de los casos de SMSL están involucrados dos o más factores de riesgo, se hace preciso reconsiderar las actividades preventivas. En el presente artículo se revisan las recomendaciones y actividades preventivas basadas en la actuación sobre los factores de riesgo modificables más importantes: recomendar la posición supina durante el sueño (es el factor de riesgo más importante), evitar tabaquismo alcohol y drogas durante el embarazo, recomendar la cuna dentro del dormitorio de los padres con superficie firme, sin objetos blandos ni sábanas sueltas y evitar el sobrecalentamiento por temperatura exterior elevada o demasiado abrigo. La lactancia materna es el factor protector más importante, haber seguido las visitas durante el embarazo y el uso del chupete se muestran también como factores protectores. Hay que resaltar la falta de evidencia sobre la monitorización a domicilio como factor preventivo.Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of infant mortality from the ages of one month and one year, in developed countries. The incidence has dramatically decreased in countries where the "none prone sleeping" position was adopted. Nevertheless, in the last few years this decrease has stabilized. Considering that in more than 95% of the cases of SIDS two or more risk factor are involved, we must reconsider the preventive measures.In the present paper, we will review the recommendations and preventive measures based on the most important modifiable risk factors: supine position during sleeping, firm sleep surface, room sharing without bed sharing, avoid soft objects in the bed, avoid overheating, pacifier use, breastfeeding, avoid smoking and other substances during pregnancy, prenatal care, as well as the lack of evidence regarding monitoring in the household.Cómo citar este artículo: Sánchez Ruiz-Cabello FJ, Ortiz González L y Grupo PrevInfad.
