Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after Childbirth
Abstract
Background: There has been discussion about the possible occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in mothers after difficult childbirth. Method: Four cases with a symptom profile suggestive of PTSD commencing within 48 hours of childbirth are presented. Results: The PTSD was in each case associated with the delivery. In each case, there was an associated depressive illness. All four had persistent disorders, and two had difficulties with mother/infant attachment. Conclusion: As confirmed by other reports, the prevalence of PTSD associated with childbirth is a matter of concern.

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.
