Why is it necessary to interview a child’s pediatrician as well as obtain all available medical records when investigating various syndromes related to child physical abuse?

What will be an ideal response?


SIDS is not a positive finding; rather, it is a diagnosis made when there is no other medical explanation for the abrupt death of an apparently healthy infant. When a baby dies from shaking, intracranial injuries, peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity), apparent suffocation, or any other identifiable cause, SIDS is not even considered a possibility.
