Maternal Smoking, Vaping and Infant Sleep Practices in Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy: A New Zealand Case Series

SUDI rates remain unacceptably high with widening ethnic disparities. The proportion of deaths associated with direct bed sharing is striking and is increasing. Vaping appears to be an emerging SUDI risk factor, especially when combined with direct bed sharing. Further studies examining the association of vaping with SUDI are urgently needed.

Abstract

SUDI rates remain unacceptably high with widening ethnic disparities. The proportion of deaths associated with direct bed sharing is striking and is increasing. Vaping appears to be an emerging SUDI risk factor, especially when combined with direct bed sharing. Further studies examining the association of vaping with SUDI are urgently needed.
