Labor Epidural Analgesia and Postpartum Depression
نویسندگان
چکیده
original study, yet to be published, examined the association of blood biological markers and peripartum depression. The original study also prospectively evaluated for antepartum depression at 8-10 weeks and 24-28 weeks gestation. Epidural status at time of delivery was noted. Women were screened for PPD on their routine postpartum visit at 6-8 weeks postpartum using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EDPS) score of > 10. EPDS has been described as the most common screening tool for postpartum depression evaluation [1]. The EDPS is a 10-item questionnaire and is a validated screening tool for depression in pregnant and postpartum women [9]. An EPDS score of > 10 has been used in other studies to identify PPD [2,8]. A variety of EPDS cut-off scores ranging from 9 to 13 have been used for diagnosis.
