| Popis: | Background Postpartum depression (PPD) has been associated with adverse health outcomes including maternal suicide. Mode of delivery has been suggested to be a risk factor for PPD, but no large cohort study has examined the association between mode of delivery and PPD. We aimed to examine the association between mode of delivery and risks of PPD at 1 and 6 months after childbirth. Methods In a nationwide study of 89,954 mothers with a live singleton birth, we examined the association between mode of delivery and risks of PPD. PPD was measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (≥13) at 1 and 6 months after childbirth. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of PPD were calculated using multivariable logistic regression analyses after adjustment of antenatal physical, socioeconomic, and mental factors. Results Among 89,954 women, 3.7% and 2.8% had PPD at 1 and 6 months after childbirth, respectively. Compared with unassisted vaginal delivery, cesarean section (CS) was marginally associated with PPD at 1 month, but not at 6 months; adjusted ORs were 1.10 (95% CI, 1.00-1.21) and 1.01 (95% CI, 0.90-1.13), respectively. The association with PPD at 1 month was evident in women with antenatal psychological distress: adjusted OR was 1.15 (95% CI, 1.03-1.28). The observed associations were attenuated after adjusting for infant feeding method. Conclusions Women who had antenatal psychological distress and underwent CS delivery may be regarded as a target for monitoring PPD. |
