Amniotic fluid embolism: decreased mortality in a population-based study. UKOSS Amniotic Fluid Embolism DCF References The study will therefore aim to collect data on 30 cases over three years. On the basis of data from the voluntary register, the study may expect to identify up to 10 cases over a one year period 2. The study will run initially for three years. OR a pathological diagnosis (presence of fetal squames or hair in the lungs). The cases will be all women in the UK identified as having amniotic fluid embolism using the following definition:ĮITHER a clinical diagnosis of AFE (acute hypotension or cardiac arrest, acute hypoxia or coagulopathy in the absence of any other potential explanation for the symptoms and signs observed) The incorporation of this study into the national obstetric surveillance system will improve ascertainment and allow a comprehensive study of the epidemiology and current management. A wide range of treatments have been described in case reports, but there has been no comprehensive study of the epidemiology and management of this condition in the UK.Ī database of voluntary notifications has been established in the UK to collect information on epidemiology and management. No clear risk factors are identifiable from previous cases, but some preliminary evidence suggests that earlier diagnosis may lead to better outcomes. Estimates of the mortality rate from this condition also vary widely, from as much as 86% to more recent estimates of 16-30%. Estimates of incidence vary between 1 in 8000 and 1 in 80,000 pregnancies.
