SIDS Survey 2024

SIDS Survey 2024

This survey is a follow-up to a 2021 study based on decades-long research on the subject of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) that saw peer-reviewed publication in 2021 and was presented at the ISA-ISPID global conference in November of last year.

The results of this pilot study indicated statistically significant differences between the SIDS parent and Non-SIDS control study groups for premonition and a set of other anomalous markers.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of premonition in SIDS (and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID)) parents vs. Non-SIDS/Non-SUID/Control Group parents and to test for a number of other anomalous “markers” noted anecdotally by medical professionals in their in-field observation. Evidence of premonition and these other “markers” as consistent elements of the SIDS/SUID phenomenon could serve as an “early warning system” for a future SIDS/SUID event.

The research team of Eric Sage, Nancy Maruyama, RN, BSN, NCBF, Executive Director Sudden Infant Death Services of Illinois, Inc. and Joseph R. Hageman, MD University of Chicago Medical Center thank you in advance for taking the time to participate in this survey. We understand that this information is personal and private and appreciate your willingness to share your information. Like you, we hope that it might bring an increased measure of light, help and healing and provide some long-overdue answers to this yet unexplained phenomenon.

Both Eric and Nancy are SIDS parents who encountered premonitions in their own experiences of their sons’ passing, over thirty years ago.
