Incidence Of Different Causes Of Anaphylaxis In A Emmergency Room Of A Spanish Hospital

Anaphylactic deaths: A retrospective study of forensic autopsy cases from 2009 to 2019 in Shanghai, China

“…Anaphylactic death is a medical emergency that necessitates a forensic examination due to uncertainty about the cause of death, which occurs at home, in public, or in hospital because of the failure of rescue before diagnosis [ 17 ]. There are few analyses of fatal anaphylaxis based on forensic cases, probably owing to the low frequency of lethal anaphylaxis [ 13 , 18 , 19 ], urging us to further focus on the general, medical, and forensic conditions of fatal anaphylaxis. Herein, we investigated the demographic, medical, and forensic pathological characteristics of fatal anaphylaxis in Shanghai from January 2009 to December 2019 to provide knowledge of anaphylactic death prevention for patients' families and clinicians, as well as diagnosis for forensic pathologists.…”

“…Several studies have shown that anaphylaxis has become more common in many countries, although its true incidence is difficult to establish [ 13 , 14 ]. Published data suggests that the estimated prevalence of anaphylaxis is 0.3–5.1%, whereas the estimated incidence is 50–112 events per 100,000 person-years [ 13 ].…”

Between 2004 and 2016, the prevalence of anaphylaxis in the United States was 2.1 per 1000 person-years, and most allergic reactions occurred outside the hospital setting [ 15 , 16 ].…”
