Positive #antenatal Edinburgh Depression Scale: examining #behavioral and #pharmacological therapy on #maternal and #neonatal outcomes


Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that women with a positive antenatal Edinburgh Depression Screen (EPDS) (≥10), undergoing behavioral or #pharmacologic therapy have improved maternal and neonatal outcomes.
STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective study of singleton #pregnancies at UC, #SanDiego from 2010 to 2014. #Patients with an antenatal EPDS were subdivided based on their intervention: negative score, positive score no treatment, behavioral therapy only, and pharmacologic therapy. The primary outcome was rate of #pretermbirth with secondary outcomes of maternal and neonatal outcomes.
