In Minnesota, this project will conduct public health surveillance of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) as well as statewide surveillance of Sudden Death in the Young (SDY). CDC and federal partners at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) developed the SDY Registry to explore and provide greater understanding of SDY. The expanded SDY component broadens the case definition and increases the age of death to 19 (for Minnesota's purposes). Minnesota’s objective is to reduce these deaths across ethnic groups by promoting awareness and collaboration between entities. By following the National Center for Fatality Review and Prevention's protocols and by utilizing existing death investigation systems recipients of this funding opportunity will strengthen surveillance of SUID and SDY. As part of this project, Minnesota will: 1) identify all SUID cases, 2) compile complete case information, 3) conduct multidisciplinary case reviews for each death, 4) categorize all cases using established criteria and algorithms, 5) improve surveillance data quality and timeliness, 6) disseminate data for prevention, and 7) identify risk factors and at risk population. In the SDY Expanded Component, Minnesota will: 1) follow an autopsy guidance, 2) conduct an advanced review, 3) compile additional SDY related variables, and 4) partner with a data coordinating center for NIH funded activities.
