Abstract

Objective To determine the prevalence of maternity blues among women in the postpartum period.Data sources We conducted our systematic review and meta-analysis by searching the literature for relevant articles published in three international databases, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, from date of inception through December 11, 2019, using the keywords prevalence, incidence, maternity blues, and baby blues.Study selection From 336 articles initially screened, we included 26 articles in the systematic review and meta-analysis.Data extraction Two independent reviewers used a standardized form to extract data from eligible articles. We evaluated the quality of individual studies and the overall evidence according to Hoy et al.'s risk of bias tool.Data synthesis The prevalence of maternity blues in the 26 included studies was 13.7% to 76.0%. Based on the results of the random effects model, the prevalence of maternity blues in 5,667 women was 39.0% (95% confidence interval [32.3, 45.6]; I 2 = 96.6%). The prevalence of maternity blues among women in Africa was greatest at 49.6%.Conclusion Considering the great prevalence of maternity blues in women after childbirth, paying attention to the key symptoms of maternity blues and implementing educational programs for health care providers and mothers after childbirth are essential.

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.
