Background.
Postpartum depression (PPD) and preeclampsia (PE) are both common diseases in obstetrics that affect maternal health and infant development.
However, the relationship between the two diseases still requires clarification.
Objective.
The purpose of this study was to (1) determine the incidence rate of PPD in patients with PE and (2) identify the association between the prevalence of PPD and the severity of PE.
Methods.
We conducted a retrospective analysis of women with and without PE who delivered between January 1, 2017, and August 30, 2018, in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.
We used a questionnaire survey methodology that included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to test the influence of PE on the development of new-onset PPD in the 6 weeks after delivery.
We determined PPD based on a score ≥10 on the EPDS.
Bivariate analysis was used to compare data between the two groups.
Results.
A total of 180 women participated in this study.
Thirty-five people screened positive for PPD, while the remaining 145 screened negative.
The prevalence of PPD was 26.67% (24/90) in patients with PE, which was two times the prevalence in normal women (12.22%).
Multiple logistic regression showed that women who had PE had nearly 3-fold increased odds of PPD compared to normal women and the risk of PPD increased with the aggravation of PE.
Patients with severe PE had a more than 4-fold increased risk of screening positive for PPD.
Conclusion.
PE was independently associated with PPD.
Furthermore, the risk of PPD seemed to increase with the aggravation of PE.
Thus, additional prevention efforts and support methods should be provided for women with PE to reduce the incidence of PPD.
