Article Synopsis
- * AFE incidence was consistent at about 4.9 cases per 100,000 deliveries, while the case-fatality rate showed a decline to an average of 17.7%.
- * Higher AFE rates and fatalities were observed in women aged 35 and older, African-Americans, and those in urban-teaching hospitals, indicating a need for further research on diagnosis and treatment strategies.
