Psychological distress in post‐partum women after non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in Japan
Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of psychological mental distress in post‐partum women after non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in Japan. Methods: Psychological mental distress was assessed using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6). We compared patients with (i) low pre‐NIPT K6 and low post‐partum K6 scores (control group), and (ii) low pre‐NIPT K6 and a high post‐partum K6 scores (case group). Results: Among the 697 women who underwent NIPT, 29 (4.2%) had low pre‐NIPT K6 and high post‐partum K6 scores (case group) and 668 (95.8%) had low pre‐NIPT K6 and low post‐partum K6 scores (control). Among women with negative NIPT findings, post‐partum women with a high K6 score were compared to a control group of women with a low K6 score. Logistic regression analysis showed that primiparity (P = 0.007), low birthweight (P = 0.005) and use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (P = 0.02) and assisted reproductive technology (P = 0.05) were significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: Even if women do not feel mental distress before NIPT, they may develop mental stress post‐partum. In particular, primipara women who conceived through assisted reproductive technology (especially intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and gave birth to a low birthweight baby were more susceptible to developing post‐partum distress. Thus, it is important to educate women that support is available, with consultation with other healthcare professionals during genetic counseling if necessary. Further studies are needed in order to determine the factors associated with post‐partum mental distress.

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.
