One-year Prevalence, Comorbidities, and Cost of Hospitalizations for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency among Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in the United States by Christopher M. Blanchette, Emily Zacherle, Joshua M. Noone, Bryce A. Van Doren, Debosree Roy, Reuben Howden

“…AATD patients were also more likely to have comorbid non-alcoholic liver disease (7% vs 2%, p<0.0001), depression (17% vs 13%, p=0.0328), and pulmonary circulation disorders (7% vs 4%, p=0.0299). Patients with AATD had a 14% longer length of stay (IRR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.07, 1.21) and a mean cost of $1487 (p=0.0251) more than COPD inpatients without AATD. …”

Current Concepts of Immunology and Diagnosis in Amniotic Fluid Embolism by Michael D. Benson

“…The only laboratory test that reliably supports the diagnosis is the finding of fetal material in the maternal pulmonary circulation at autopsy. Perhaps the most compelling mystery surrounding AFE is not why one in 20,000 parturients are afflicted, but rather how the vast majority of women can tolerate the foreign antigenic presence of their fetus both within their uterus and circulation?…”
