| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST zm39R0xS. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study analyzed the relationship between prenatal maternal smoking and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and examined the cost-effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions. Methods. All recorded US singleton SIDS deaths from the 1995 birth cohort with birthweight exceeding 500 g were investigated. Infants with available maternal smoking data were matched with controls who survived to 1 year. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate SIDS risks and accompanying cost-effectiveness. Results. A total of 23.6% of single-ton SIDS deaths appear to be attributable to prenatal maternal smoking. Typical cessation services available to all pregnant smokers could avert 108 SIDS deaths annually, at an estimated cost of $210 500 per life saved. Conclusions. Typical prenatal smoking cessation programs are highly cost-effective but have limited impact on the population incidence of SIDS. |
