Social and obstetric risk factors of antenatal depression: A cross-sectional study in China
This study suggested that the prevalence of antenatal depression was 4.4%. Several social and obstetric factors were identified as risk factors for antenatal depression. EPDS8 ("sad or miserable") and EPDS4 ("anxious or worried") are pivotal targets for clinical intervention to alleviate the burden of antenatal depression. Early identification of high-risk groups is crucial for the development and implementation of intervention strategies to improve the overall quality of life for pregnant women.
