“…Although clinic-based studies have found an association between maternal CMD and infant under-nutrition in Nigeria and Malawi. 10,11 This was not confirmed by our earlier findings in Ethiopia, 12,13 and other population-based studies from Ethiopia and South Africa. 14,15 Earlier studies from Ethiopia have identified poor socioeconomic indexes, poor maternal health practices, short birth interval and early cessation of breastfeeding [16][17][18] as factors associated with child mortality.…”

Aims:The study aims to evaluate the impact of perinatal common mental disorders (CMDs) on child mortality up to 3.5 years in a demographic surveillance site at Butajira, Ethiopia. Methods: One thousand sixty-five eligible women were assessed for CMD in the third trimester of pregnancy and at 2 months post-delivery using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire. We derived a four-level categorical exposure variable for the course of perinatal CMD. The outcome measure was child death recorded from 1 month after the postnatal assessment up to 3.5 years. Potential confounders and mediators were evaluated. Results:The cumulative child mortality rates were 62.6/1000 at 1 year and 82.5/1000 at 3.5 years, respectively. Exposure to perinatal CMD did not significantly affect child survival at 3.5 years, with results showing fully adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 1.85 (0.43, 7.88) for CMD in pregnancy only, 1.47 (0.14, 15.66) for CMD in postnatal period only and 0.41 (0.02, 7.38) for persistent CMD (both in pregnancy and postnatal). Only using soap less frequently than daily (HR 5.67,) and episode of malaria in pregnancy (HR 5.02, 95% CI 2.15-11.72) were associated with child mortality in multivariable analysis. Conclusions: Maternal health, health behaviours and family structure appear to be the most important factors affecting post-neonatal child mortality in this Ethiopian birth cohort, with little evidence for an effect of maternal perinatal CMD.

“…23,24,30,31,33,34,38,39 Meta-analysis of these studies showed that the relationship between maternal depression and stunting (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2-1.7) remained similar to that in the meta-analysis of all studies and the heterogeneity persisted (Q = 25.00; P = 0.005). When the metaanalysis was restricted to the seven studies that used measures of depression or depressive symptoms, 24,31,[33][34][35]38,39 the relationship between maternal depression and stunting strengthened (OR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.4-2.9) and homogeneity was noted (Q: 11.55; P = 0.073). Finally, when the meta-analysis was restricted to the four longitudinal cohort studies, 31,33,35,38 the relationship was strengthened slightly (OR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.0-3.9) and modest heterogeneity was found (Q: 9.30; P = 0.026).…”

Poverty and postnatal depression: a systematic mapping of the evidence from low and lower middle income countries

This study systematically maps, assesses and aggregates research relating to postnatal depression (PND) and poverty in low and lower middle income countries (LLMICs). Our search of 12 databases yielded 2,202 articles, of which 47 items from 17 countries were included in our mapping. We highlight mechanisms for the relationships between poverty and PND in LLMICs. The research base on the relationships between poverty and PND in LLMIC is limited, but has recently expanded. It is dominated by studies that consider whether poverty is a risk factor for PND. Income, socio-economic status and education are all inconsistent risk factors for PND. Clues to better ways of framing and capturing economic stress in PND research is found in the qualitative studies included in our mapping. Evidence focuses overwhelmingly on individual-level analyses. To understand the scale and implications of PND in LLMICs, research has to take account of neighbourhoods, communities, and localities.
