Factors associated with a positive depression screen after a miscarriage
BMC Psychiatry Jan 10, 2019
Mutiso SK, et al. - Researchers sought the factors associated with a positive depression screen among post-miscarriage women at the Aga Khan University hospital, Nairobi. Using the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale, they screened patients recruited at the 2 weeks clinic review after a miscarriage in the gynaecological clinics, for depression. Of these, 34.1% of the patients were screened positive for depression. Factors influencing the positive depression screen may include younger age, low education level, an older gestational age at miscarriage, being single, an assisted mode of conception and prior miscarriage. These factors may assist identifying the women who may screen positive for depression after a miscarriage.
