Postpartum depression was more prevalent in women who had cesarean section compared to those who had Remifentanil-induced painless vaginal birth.
According to a cross-sectional study, pregnant women who underwent cesarean (C)-sections had considerably higher postpartum Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores contrasted to those who had Remifentanil-induced painless vaginal deliveries. Rana Dousti et al. set out to calculate the mean score of postpartum depression in females who underwent either an elective C-section or Remifentanil-triggered painless delivery.
A total of 140 women were recruited, and they were split into two groups of 70 each: those who had cesarean birth and those who delivered vaginally while receiving Remifentanil analgesia. Utilizing EPDS, depression during pregnancy was evaluated at gestational weeks 35-37, and postpartum depression was assessed four weeks after delivery. Depression scores were compared using the independent t-test and the paired t-test.
Women who had undergone cesarean section had a much greater rate of postpartum depression contrasted to those who had Remifentanil-elicited painless vaginal delivery. Hence, the cesarean section appears to be associated with postpartum depression.
