Biological and Psychosocial Predictors of Postpartum Depression: Systematic Review and Call for Integration
Open accessAbstract
Postpartum depression (PPD) adversely affects the health and well being of many new mothers, their infants, and their families. A comprehensive understanding of biopsychosocial precursors to PPD is needed to solidify the current evidence base for best practices in translation. We conducted a systematic review of research published from 2000 through 2013 on biological and psychosocial factors associated with PPD and postpartum depressive symptoms. Two hundred fourteen publications based on 199 investigations of 151,651 women in the first postpartum year met inclusion criteria. The biological and psychosocial literatures are largely distinct, and few studies provide integrative analyses. The strongest PPD risk predictors among biological processes are hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal dysregulation, inflammatory processes, and genetic vulnerabilities. Among psychosocial factors, the strongest predictors are severe life events, some forms of chronic strain, relationship quality, and support from partner and mother. Fully integrated biopsychosocial investigations with large samples are needed to advance our knowledge of PPD etiology.

“Likewise, although animal studies have documented complex neurobiological modifications associated with the mammalian transition to parenthood (Lambert, 2012), biological factors have yet to be properly integrated within psychosocial studies of distress in the perinatal period (Yim, Tanner Stapleton, Guardino, Hahn-Holbrook, & Dunkel Schetter, 2015).”

“our anxious-depressive symptoms latent factor encompassed scores on three standardized measures (i.e., CESD, STAI and GHQ) and was supplemented by prenatal assessments of both maternal and paternal cortisol (Yim et al., 2015).”

In the citing paper
“most studies tend to investigate the contribution of only one or two risk factors altogether (e.g., Hetherington, McDonald, Williamson, Patten and Tough, 2018 [14]), so the communalities between biopsychosocial factors are not controlled and the unique contribution of each variable remains unclear [15].”

In the citing paper
“For example, biological factors, such as reproductive and stress hormones, psychological variables, such as beliefs and perceived anxiety control, social factors such as marital satisfaction and peer support, and contextual information (i.e., seasonal time frame or seasonal light exposure), have also been linked with depressive symptomatology in perinatal research [15,61], but were not included in”

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.
