Association of inpatient postpartum quality of recovery with postpartum depression: A prospective observational study
Authors' conclusion
Our study demonstrates that worse inpatient postpartum recovery is an independent risk factor for positive PPD screening at 6 weeks postpartum.
Study context
- Population
- Women ≥18 years old after term delivery (gestational age ≥ 37 weeks), vaginal or cesarean, with non-anomalous neonates, quaternary medical center in Israel270 (83.1%) completed 6-week Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS)
- Participants
- 325 women
- Exposure
- Association of inpatient postpartum recovery with positive positive postpartum depression (PPD) screening
- Outcome
- Factors associated with positive PPD screening at 6 weeks (multiple logistic regression)
- Follow-up
- 6 weeks
Methodological detailslongitudinal, single-centre, ObsQoR-10-Heb (0–100, higher = better) completed 24 to 48 h after delivery; EPDS at 6 and 12 weeks; 253 (77.9%) completed 12-week EPDS
- Longitudinal
- Single-centre
- ObsQoR-10-Heb (0–100, higher = better) completed 24 to 48 h after delivery; EPDS at 6 and 12 weeks; 253 (77.9%) completed 12-week EPDS
