Overview

• Researchers identified specific metabolic markers in blood that may indicate a higher risk of SIDS in infants.
• The study analyzed blood samples from over 350 infants who died of SIDS and compared them to healthy infants.
• Babies with unusual metabolite patterns were found to be 14 times more likely to die from SIDS.
• The findings suggest a possible link between metabolic processes and SIDS, but further research is needed.
• Experts caution that the results are not yet definitive enough to change medical practices.
