Journal ArticleDOI
Normal sleep patterns in infants and children: A systematic review of observational studies
TL;DR: Meta-regression showed predominantly Asian countries had significantly shorter sleep (1h less over the 0-12 year range) compared to studies from Caucasian/non-Asian countries.
Journal Article

TL;DR: The preliminary analysis of the first year of the New Zealand cot death study gives the major identified risk factors for SIDS and identifies three risk factors which are potentially amenable to modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Following the Prevention Campaign in New Zealand: A Prospective Study
Edwin A. Mitchell,Pat Tuohy,Jan M. Brunt,John M. D. Thompson,Mark S. Clements,Alistair Stewart,R. P. K. Ford,Barry J Taylor +7 more
TL;DR: Breastfeeding did not appear to offer a statistically significant reduction in SIDS risk after adjustment of potential confounders, but as breastfeeding rates are comparatively good in New Zealand, this result should be interpreted with caution as the power of this study to detect a benefit is small.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four modifiable and other major risk factors for cot death: The New Zealand study
Edwin A. Mitchell,Barry J Taylor,R. P. K. Ford,Alistair Stewart,David M.O. Becroft,John M. D. Thompson,Robert Scragg,I. B. Hassall,D. Barry,E. M. Allen,A. P. Roberts +10 more
TL;DR: The New Zealand Cot Death Study as discussed by the authors was the first study to investigate the major identified risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) from the full 3-year data set and identified four risk factors that are potentially amenable to modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bed sharing, smoking, and alcohol in the sudden infant death syndrome. New Zealand Cot Death Study Group.
Robert Scragg,Edwin A. Mitchell,Barry J Taylor,Alistair Stewart,R. P. K. Ford,John M. D. Thompson,E. M. Allen,David M.O. Becroft +7 more
TL;DR: The interaction between maternal smoking and bed sharing suggests that a mechanism involving passive smoking, rather than the previously proposed mechanisms of overlaying and hyperthermia, increases the risk of sudden infant death from bed sharing.
