The effect of maternal hypertension and maternal mental illness on adverse neonatal outcomes: A mediation and moderation analysis in a U.S. cohort of 9 million pregnancies. J Affect Disord 2023; 326:11-17. [PMID: 36657493 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.01.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 01/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND While hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) coexist with maternal anxiety and depression, it is unclear how these conditions affect neonatal outcomes. We evaluated the prevalence as well as associations and potential mechanisms between HDP, maternal anxiety and depression, preterm birth (PTB), and small for gestational age (SGA). METHODS We conducted a retrospective population-based study using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) database from 2004 to 2014. Preterm birth (<37 weeks), SGA (<10th percentile for gestational age and sex), HDP, and mental disorders (anxiety and depression) were extracted using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9). Mediation and moderation models were constructed separately to evaluate potential mechanisms between maternal anxiety and depression, HDP, and adverse neonatal outcomes. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to determine their associations. RESULTS Of 9,097,355 pregnant women, the prevalence of HDP was 6.9 %, anxiety 0.91 %, depression 0.36 %, preterm birth 7.2 %, and SGA 2.1 %. Anxiety increased the probability of having HDP (OR = 1.242, 95 % CI 1.235-1.250), and HDP mediated the association between anxiety and preterm birth (mediation effect = 0.048, p-value<0.001). Depression significantly moderated the effect of HDP on preterm birth (moderation effect = -0.126, p-value = 0.027). HDP also mediated the association between anxiety and SGA (mediation effect = 0.042, p-value<0.001), but depression did not moderate the association between HDP and SGA (p-value = 0.29). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that women with anxiety are more likely to have HDP, and HDP mediates the associations between anxiety and adverse neonatal outcomes. Depression moderates associations between HDP and preterm birth but not between HDP and SGA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Depression during pregnancy is often found and ignored even though depression has a negative impact not only on the mother but also on the fetus to adulthood. Stunting is a problem of lack of nutritional status that begins during pregnancy.
AIM: The purpose of this article is to systematically identify the description and relationship between depression during pregnancy and stunting in children.
METHOD: The approach used is the systematic review method to search articles. Articles were identified from 2010-2020 by conducting a literature search with the keywords "antenatal depression" OR "prenatal depression" OR "depression during pregnancy" and "stunting" in the electronic databases dataset by Sciencedirect, Pubmed Research Gate, and Google Scholar.
RESULTS: The search results found 1875 articles selected into 20 journal articles that match the inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION: The results found that depression during pregnancy correlated with risk factors for stunting. As a preventive measure, health workers, especially midwives, can provide psychological care in antenatal care by considering these factors.

Determinants of Breastfeeding Practices and Its Association With Infant Anthropometry: Results From a Prospective Cohort Study in South India. Front Public Health 2020; 8:492596. [PMID: 33102418 PMCID: PMC7116249 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2020.492596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2019] [Accepted: 09/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Despite national efforts for promoting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first 6 months of the infants' life, breastfeeding rates are low in India. Evidence on the interference of supplementary food on optimal nourishment and growth of the infant has also been well-established. Our study was undertaken to assess the effect of breastfeeding practices on infant anthropometry and determine the various factors affecting breastfeeding practices. Methods A prospective cohort study - Maternal antecedents of adiposity and studying the transgenerational role of hyperglycemia and insulin (MAASTHI) was conducted at a tertiary care public hospital in Bengaluru, South India. From the consenting women, data such as obstetric history, infant feeding practices, anthropometry of mother and child, the psychosocial status of the women using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), was collected at baseline and subsequent follow-up: post-delivery and 14 weeks after birth. In this study, we analyzed data collected from April 2016 to April 2018, with descriptive statistics presented in mean and standard deviation, and logistic regression adjusting for confounders. Results Among the 240 women enrolled in the study, 33% (n= 80) were using supplementary food for their infants at 14 weeks of infants age. Infants who received supplementary feeding at age 14 weeks had nearly 2.5 times higher odds of being wasted (OR: 2.449, p-value: 0.002) as compared to exclusively breastfed infants. Conclusion Infants between 14 to 16 weeks of age who received supplementary feeding were at risk of wasting as compared to exclusively breastfed infants. Despite strong evidence in support of the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding, awareness in urban women in India is low. Increased focus on promoting exclusive breastfeeding is necessary to ensure proper nutritional intake and healthy growth of infants.

Abstract
Background: Exposure to air pollution (IAP) from the combustion of solid fuels is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Pregnant women exposed to higher pollutant levels are at higher risk of delivering a low-birth-weight (LBW) baby. There is a lack of standardized data regarding the levels and types of specific pollutants and how they impact LBW. We aim to prospectively assess the association between ambient and indoor air pollution levels in pregnancy and low birth weight and understand the subsequent risk of adiposity in these infants. Methods: We will conduct a prospective cohort study of 516 pregnant women recruited before 18 weeks of gestation in the urban slums of Bangalore, who have voluntarily consented to participate. We will estimate the level of air pollutants including particulate matter (<10 μm, <2.5 μm) and carbon monoxide (CO) parts per million (ppm) levels in both indoor and ambient environment. The follow-up of the delivered children will be done at delivery until the infant is one year old. The association between pollutants and LBW will be evaluated using logistic regression adjusting for potential confounders.Further, we will explore the mediation role of LBW in the hypothesized causal chain of air pollution and adiposity. Nested within a large cohort titled "Maternal Antecedents of Adiposity and Studying the Transgenerational role of Hyperglycemia and Insulin (MAASTHI)", we can estimate the absolute risk of having low birth weight caused by air pollution and other variables. Discussion: Understanding the association between exposures to ambient and indoor air pollution and low birth weight is essential in India. LBW babies have a higher risk of developing obesity and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) during adulthood. The results from this study can inform the efforts for controlling the air pollution-related chronic diseases in India.

Identifying trajectories of antenatal depression in women and their associations with gestational age and neonatal anthropometry: A prospective cohort study. Gen Hosp Psychiatry 2019; 61:26-33.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study sought to determine the longitudinal trajectories of antenatal depression and examine their associations with birth outcomes. METHOD 926 healthy women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies within 14 weeks of gestation participated in this prospective cohort study. Women completed a sociodemographic and medical questionnaire and the locally-validated Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in their first, second, and third trimesters, and prior to parturition. Gestational age and neonatal weight, length, and head circumference were recorded at birth. Group-based trajectory modelling characterized trajectories of antenatal depression. Analyses of covariance and covariate-adjusted linear regressions identified associations between trajectories and neonatal outcomes. RESULTS Four distinct non-fluctuating trajectories of depressive symptoms were identified, with 9% women suffering from probable clinical depression throughout the pregnancy. Women in this persistently-moderate depression trajectory delivered 2.48 days earlier than in other trajectories; a one-point increase in EPDS scores was associated with an adjusted reduction of 5.82 g in birthweight. CONCLUSIONS Although meaningful trajectories were identified, no clinically relevant associations between persistently-moderate depressive symptoms with neonatal outcomes were found. The stability of these trajectories, however, suggests the importance of screening for depressive symptoms early in pregnancy to identify women who may benefit from greater formal and informal support.
