• SUPC is rare in infants– How often does it occur?– What are the causes?
• Jessop guidelines include– Immediate care of the newborn– Bed sharing and co-sleeping guideine

Analysis
![Page 6: Steph Borg 17 May 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051218/56815d46550346895dcb4dae/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“We sought to establish the population incidence of sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) in apparently healthy infants within the UK to describe situational factors and the cause for collapse was determined”• Population –
– infants ≥37/40– Apgar score of ≥ 8 at 5mins– Collapse within 12hrs of birth in hospital requiring resuscitation
with PPV and died or received ongoing intensive care
Analysis
![Page 7: Steph Borg 17 May 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051218/56815d46550346895dcb4dae/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Risk factors– Maternal sedation– Breastfeeding/prone position– Unattended– Underlying disease/pathology
• Outcomes– Incidence of death and collapse– Identification of cause of death– Neurological follow up at 1 year
Analysis
![Page 8: Steph Borg 17 May 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051218/56815d46550346895dcb4dae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Yes– A method of establishing an association between exposure and
outcome by following a population over time
Analysis

Analysis
• Cases referred to BPSU over 13 months 2008-2009• Active surveillance via network of 3000 paediatricians• Response rate 94.6%• When cases identified further information collected from clinicians
• Could not verify if all cases reported• Study incidence may be underestimate
![Page 10: Steph Borg 17 May 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051218/56815d46550346895dcb4dae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Exposure to risk factors identified retrospectively from BPSU collected data
• Ix performed decided by clinical time at the time – not consistent
• Cases were anonymised to study team

• Study incidence may be underestimated• 4 excluded cases due to uncertain eligibility• Ix to cause of collapse not always successful
– 1 death – no cause found and no PM– 5 cases no cause identified
• Clinical judgment of cause where no objective cause identified
• Outcome data for all surviving cases available
Analysis
![Page 13: Steph Borg 17 May 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051218/56815d46550346895dcb4dae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• All infants surviving to discharge followed up at 1 yr with neurological assessment
• Is age 1 yr too early to assess for long term developmental/neurological outcome?

Results• 91 cases referred,
• 32 errors• 10 duplications• 4 excluded
• 45 infants of SUPC included• 12 (27%) died• 33 survived to discharge
• Population incidence of SUPC in first 12 hours 0.05/1000 (1 in 19000) term live births
• Mortality 0.01/1000 (1/72000) term live births• Where no underlying disease or abnormality id’d
population incidence 0.035/1000 (1/29000) term live births

• Yes – Jessop provides care to term babies with Apgars >8 at 5 mins
• Currently have pathways in our guidelines re– Co-sleeping and bed sharing– Prevention, detection and management of known risks of
hypoglycaemia, GBS
Will the results help me locally

• The first study to document the population incidence in the UK of SUPC in infants assessed as being healthy at birth
• Previous case series document risks of accidental suffocation
