a

The Edinburgh is scored if there were responses for all 10 items.

b

Odds ratios are from weighted logistic regression models with Edinburgh score > 12 (yes versus no) as the dependent variable. Sample sizes for the crude odds ratios were N=797 (overall) and N=609 (among women with no history of depression). For the adjusted odds ratios, the covariates included in each model were taken from a forward selection procedure with stillbirth / healthy live birth included at the initial step. A P-value ≤0.15 was required for a covariate to be retained. Sample sizes for the final models were N=757 (overall) and N=597 (among women with no history of depression). The potential covariates for the overall model were, in order of selection: number of significant life event factors, history of depression, education, method of payment for health insurance maternal, body mass index, blood type, and marital status (not selected). The potential covariates for the subset without a history of depression were, in order of selection: education, number of significant life event factors, body mass index, method of payment for health insurance, marital status (not selected), blood type (not selected), and race/ethnicity (not selected). The weights take into account the study design and differential consent based on characteristics recorded on all eligible deliveries that were screened for the study.

c

Women are classified as having a history of depression if they had taken antidepressant medications or if they indicated they had sought help for depression.
