International comparison of diagnostic guidelines relating to sudden infant & neonate death

There are few countries that have established guidelines to serve as a guide governing the diagnosis of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Many countries are proceeding with the diagnosis of SIDS based on two or three sets of definitions and standardized autopsy protocols, or on the investigation relating to the circumstances of the death. In Australia two types of guidelines are used according to the area. In France, SIDS is not considered for the establishment of guidelines, as it is not considered to be a formal diagnostic term. Since various problems arise when making an actual diagnosis, the New Zealand Child and Youth Mortality Review Committee is in the process of establishing guidelines in New Zealand with respect to when and in what cases a death is to be labeled as SIDS. Although guidelines relating to SIDS have yet to be adequately established in countries throughout the world, there is the possibility that such guidelines will be examined in many countries.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

International comparison of SIDS litigation

The trends of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) litigation in Japan, the U. S. New Zealand, Australia, the U. K. Belgium and Canada were compared each other by questionnaire to SIDS authorities in each country and analyses of court cases extracted from international court case databases. As the result of comparison, it was certain that the trend of SIDS litigation in Japan was not unique among those countries. Arguments similar to those disputed in SIDS litigation in Japan were determined to be frequently litigated in Canada, while similar arguments are also raised in civil suits in the U. S. as well. In addition, even in trials in other countries questioning whether a death was caused by SIDS or child abuse (murder), it was presumed that there is a relatively large number of cases in which the argument converges on whether death was caused by SIDS or asphyxiation.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
