Objective

To conduct a meta-analysis on the relationship between bed sharing and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) risk.

Study design

Data from PubMed and Medline were searched for studies published after Jan 1, 1970. The search strategy included articles with the terms ¡°sudden infant death syndrome,¡± ¡°sudden unexpected death,¡± and ¡°cot death¡± with ¡°bed sharing¡± or ¡°co-sleeping.¡± To further specify the potential risk of bed sharing and SIDS, subgroup analyses were performed.

Results

Eleven studies met inclusion criteria and were included in the final meta-analysis. The combined OR for SIDS in all bed sharing versus non-bed sharing infants was 2.89 (95 % CI, 1.99-4.18). The risk was highest for infants of smoking mothers (OR, 6.27; 95 % CI, 3.94-9.99), and infants <12 weeks old (OR, 10.37; 95 % CI, 4.44-24.21).

Conclusions

Bed sharing is a risk factor for SIDS and is especially enhanced in smoking parents and in very young infants.
