Abstract
Objective: To compare the prevalence of postpartum depression between women with COVID infection at the time of delivery and non-COVID-19 group.
Methods: The study design is a prospective comparative cohort study. 67 postpartum women who delivered at Lahansai Hospital from 1st March 2022 – 30th June 2022 participated in the study. 16 women were infected with COVID-19 at delivery, and 51 women were not. They were interviewed regarding demographic data and asked to complete the Edinburgh Postnatal Depressive Scale (EPDS). Data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, and odd ratio.
Results: The overall prevalence of PPD in all participants was 16.4%. The prevalence of PPD was 18.7% in the group infected with COVID-19 and 15.7% in the non-covid group. The difference does not have statistical significance (95% CI = 0.287-5.366; P–value = 0.77).
Conclusion: There is no difference in the prevalence of postpartum depression between postpartum women with COVID infection at the time of delivery and the non-covid group.
