Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant under one year of age, which remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history [1]. The ‘back to sleep’ campaign in the 1980ties, which recommended a supine sleeping position and a safe sleeping environment, contributed significantly to the decline of SIDS incidence [2]. However, the current incidence still adds up to 0.1 – 0.8 deaths per 1’000 live births and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of SIDS are not well understood [3].
