Sudden infant death syndrome (also known as SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant younger than 1 year. If the child's death remains unexplained after a formal investigation into the circumstances of the death (including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history), the death is then attributed to SIDS. Sudden infant death is a tragic event for any parent or caregiver.
