This study used insurance claims data to evaluate obstetric outcomes in pregnant women with and without
depression because population study for Asian women on the issue is limited We identifed 5,064 women with
depression at pregnancy in 2005 2013, and 20,024 pregnant women without depression, frequency matched
by age, pregnant year and parity Obstetric events during pregnancy and deliveries were evaluated The
depression group had more events than comparisons

for hyperemesis (39 3 vs 35 5 ), abortion (3 3 vs 2 6 ), malpresentation (12 3 vs 10 3 ), C section (40 2 vs 34

6 ) and intrauterine fetal demise (0 7 vs 0 4 ); risks of these events were signifcant for childbearing
depressed women, not for the 35+ years subgroup These incidences were higher in depressed women
taking antidepressant than those without the medication, but were signifcant in childbearing
depressed subgroup for hyperemesis and C section with odds ratios of 1 18 (95 confdence intervals (CI),
1 02 1 36) and 1 29 (95 CI, 1 11 1 49), respectively Incident preterm and low birth weight births were also
higher in the depression group than in comparisons, but weren t
