Is short-term exposure to low and high ambient temperatures associated with an increased risk of sudden unexpected death in infancy? A case-crossover study in France (2015-2022)
Short-term exposure to both high and low temperatures showed patterns of association with SUDI, with particularly notable effects of heat during summer. Although statistical support for many trends was limited, the alignment of these signals with previous studies suggests that preventive measures to reduce temperature-related risks for infants may be considered, particularly in the context of rising temperatures.
