Researchers found that babies born to African Americans had the highest rate of sudden unexpected deaths in 2020.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released research on Monday, March 13, that found a 15 percent increase in sudden infant deaths among babies of all races from 2019 to 2020.
They said the rise in deaths among Black infants happened at the same time the coronavirus pandemic started in late 2019.“Evidence does not support direct or indirect effects of the pandemic on increased rates of sudden unexpected infant death, except for non-Hispanic Black infants,” the study authors stated. They have called for more research, but also noted the many ways in which the pandemic wreaked havoc on African Americans.
In data collection, both SIDS and incidents of accidental suffocation or strangulation fall under the umbrella term SUID, or sudden unexplained infant death. The authors said that the increase could be a statistical anomaly. They said they would check the data for several more years to see if the increase was real or not.
