Meta-Analysis Of Antenatal Depression And Adverse Birth Outcomes In US Populations, 2010–20: Study is a meta-analysis of antenatal depression and adverse birth outcomes in the US, 2010–20.
Abstract
Untreated depression presents a distinct set of risks for pregnancy complications. Past studies have connected antenatal depression with adverse birth outcomes. The purpose of this study was to conduct an updated systematic review and meta-analysis examining the relationship between depression during pregnancy and associated adverse birth outcomes in US populations during the period 2010-20. As a trend, disparities in adverse pregnancy outcomes and maternal morbidities for Black pregnant people compared with those for White pregnant people continue to rise. Addressing mental health conditions during pregnancy has the potential to ameliorate a large and excessive burden on adverse birth outcomes among childbearing people and their offspring. Policy solutions to encourage, mandate, and reimburse universal depression screening during pregnancy are warranted.

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.
