Depression and anxiety among high-risk obstetric inpatients
Open accessAbstract
Objective To assess the following among women hospitalized antenatally due to high-risk pregnancies: (1) rates of depression symptoms and anxiety symptoms, (2) changes in depression symptoms and anxiety symptoms and, (3) rates of mental health treatment.Methods Sixty-two participants hospitalized for high-risk obstetrical complications completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7) and Short-Form 12 weekly until delivery or discharge, and once postpartum.Results Average length of total hospital stay was 8.3 ± 7.6 days for women who completed an initial admission survey (n = 62) and 16.3 ± 8.9 (n = 34), 25.4 ± 10.2 (n = 17) and 35 ± 10.9 days (n = 9) for those who completed 2, 3 and 4 surveys, respectively. EPDS was ≥ 10 in 27% (n=17) and GAD-7 was ≥ 10 in 13% (n = 8) of participants at initial survey. Mean anxiety (4.2 ± 6.5 vs. 5.2 ± 5.1, p = .011) and depression (4.4 ± 5.6 vs. 6.9 ± 4.8, p = .011) scores were lower postpartum compared to initial survey. Past mental health diagnosis predicted depression symptoms [odds ratio (OR) = 4.54; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.91-7.17] and anxiety symptoms (OR = 5.95; 95% CI 3.04-8.86) at initial survey; however, 21% (n = 10) with no diagnostic history had EPDS ≥ 10. Five percent (n = 3) received mental health treatment during pregnancy.Conclusion Hospitalized high-risk obstetrical patients may commonly experience depression symptoms and/or anxiety symptoms and not receive treatment. A history of mental health treatment or diagnosis was associated with depression symptoms or anxiety symptoms in pregnancy. Of women with an EPDS ≥ 10, > 50% did not report a past mental health diagnosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
