Sudden Death in the Young Case Registry

Tools for Providers

The SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death) and SDY (Sudden Death in the Young) Case Registry is an important surveillance program funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Case Registry builds upon the infrastructure of the National Center for Fatality Review and Prevention’s Child Death Review Case Reporting System.  Its primary objective is to enhance surveillance capabilities and establish a valuable repository of information for researchers studying the characteristics of sudden deaths in young individuals. The registry represents a collaborative effort between the NIH and the CDC. By combining expertise from both institutions, we aim to deepen our understanding of these tragic events.

These tools are valuable resources for individuals involved in investigating or reviewing sudden unexpected deaths in youth. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback regarding these tools, please contact the SUID and SDY Case Registry Data Coordinating Center.
