|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 한 살 이하의 건강한 아기가 아무런 조짐이나 원인 없이 갑자기 사망했을 경우에 내리는 진단이다. 이 증후군은 생후 1~4개월 사이에 가장 많이 발생하며, 대부분 밤 10시에서 오전 10시 사이에 발생한다. 조산하거나 부모가 흡연자일 경우, 20세 이하 산모의 초산, 임신전 건강관리에 소홀한 산모에게서 태어난 영아에게서 많이 발생한다. 이 증후군으로 사망한 영아의 형제일 경우 일반적인 영아보다 걸릴 확률이 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. |

| birth trauma | Physical injury to an infant during its delivery, the supposed emotional injury, inflicted by events incident to birth, upon an infant which allegedly appears in symbolic form in patients with mental illness. Trauma from occlusion, a reversible lesion in the periodontium caused by excessive movement of teeth. Occlusal trauma, abnormal occlusal stresses capable of producing or which have produced pathologic changes in the tooth and its surrounding structures. Psychic trauma, an upsetting experience precipitating or aggravating an emotional or mental disorder. (05 Mar 2000) |

| birth weight | In humans, the first weight of an infant obtained within less than the first 60 completed minutes after birth; a full-size infant is one weighing 2500 g or more; a low birth weight is less than 2500 g. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachial birth palsy | Paralysis of the infant's arm due to injury received at birth usually resulting from a shoulder dystocia; three types are recognised: 1) whole arm; 2) upper arm (Erb's p.); 3) forearm (Klumpke's paralysis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| vaginal birth after cesarean | Delivery of an infant through the vagina in a female who has had a prior cesarean section. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaginal birth after cesarian section | It was once the rule that after a c-section, the next delivery also had to be by c-section. Now vaginal delivery after cesarian section (vbac) is frequently feasible. See: vbac. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rate, birth | The birth rate is usually given as the number of live births divided by the average population (or the population at midyear). This is termed the crude birth rate. In 1995, for example, the crude birth rate per 1,000 population was 14 in the united states, 16.9 in Australia, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cesarian section, vaginal birth after | It was once the rule that after a C-section, the next delivery also had to be by C-section. Now vaginal delivery after Cesarian section (VBAC) is frequently feasible. (12 Dec 1998) |
| multiple birth offspring | The offspring in multiple pregnancies (pregnancy, multiple): twins, triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| crude birth rate | <epidemiology> The number of live births in a year divided by the population size. (05 Dec 1998) |
| Bayley Scales of Infant Development | A psychological test used to measure the developmental progress of infants over the first two and one-half years of life; consists of three scales: mental, motor, and behaviour record. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rate, infant mortality | The number of children dying under a year of age divided by the number of live births that year. The infant mortality rate in the united states, which was 12.5 per 1,000 live births in 1980, fell to 9.2 per 1,000 live births in 1990. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Cattell Infant Intelligence Scale | A standardised scale for assessment of the cognitive development of infants between the ages of 3 and 30 months. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mortality rate, infant | The number of children dying under a year of age divided by the number of live births that year. The infant mortality rate in the united states, which was 12.5 per 1,000 live births in 1980, fell to 9.2 per 1,000 live births in 1990. (12 Dec 1998) |
| postmature infant | A baby born 1 week (7 days) or more after the usual 9 months (280 days) of gestation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| post-term infant | A baby born 2 weeks (14 days) or more after the usual 9 months (280 days) of gestation, as calculated from the last menstrual period (lmp). This is an important calculation, since, if delivery is delayed 3 weeks beyond term, the infant mortality rate skyrockets to 3 times normal. (12 Dec 1998) |
