Abstract

Background: Although risk factors associated with maternal postpartum depression (PPD) have been recognized, it is still unknown how some newborn characteristics could influence the appearance of PPD.

Aim: Our research aimed to unravel the impact of a newborn's features on women with PPD.

Methods: The study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at our University Emergency County Hospital, between August 2019 and April 2021. We included 904 women from the second day of the postpartum period, divided into two groups: women with PPD (n = 236) and control (i.e., women without PPD, n = 668), by using the Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale. Characteristic information on the newborns (i.e., the months in which they were born, premature delivery, birth weight, or sex) was evaluated.

Results: Our results suggest that the winter season (i.e., December and January months, p = 0.01) births and male newborns (p = 0.02) were strongly related with the appearance of depressive symptoms during the postpartum period.

Conclusions: Therefore, our study sustains that women who give birth to male newborns in the winter season are more prone to developing PPD. This should be analyzed by all public health care systems in order to prevent such a condition earlier in certain groups of women.

新生儿特征对产后抑郁的影响：罗马尼亚队列研究中出生季节和男性性别的影响》（The Impact of Birth Season and Male Sex in a Romanian Cohort Study）。

背景：尽管与产妇产后抑郁（PPD）相关的风险因素已被确认，但新生儿的一些特征如何影响PPD的出现仍是未知数。研究目的：我们的研究旨在揭示新生儿特征对PPD产妇的影响：研究于2019年8月至2021年4月期间在我校急诊县医院妇产科进行。我们使用爱丁堡产后抑郁量表纳入了产后第二天的 904 名产妇，分为两组：患有 PPD 的产妇（n = 236）和对照组（即无 PPD 的产妇，n = 668）。此外，还对新生儿的特征信息（如出生月份、早产、出生体重或性别）进行了评估：结果：我们的研究结果表明，冬季（即 12 月和 1 月，p = 0.01）分娩和男婴（p = 0.02）与产后抑郁症状的出现密切相关：因此，我们的研究证实，在冬季分娩男婴的妇女更容易患上产后抑郁症。所有公共医疗保健系统都应对此进行分析，以尽早预防某些妇女群体出现这种情况。
