Adjusted associations between neonatal death and high postpartum depressive symptoms at 6 months among Bangladeshi women with live births, stratified by maternal educational status.

	Years of education
	Zero	1–9	≥10
Pregnancy outcome	Relative Risk (95% CI) of high depressive symptoms	Relative Risk (95% CI) of high depressive symptoms	Relative Risk (95% CI) of high depressive symptoms
Live birth	1.00	1.00	1.00
Stillbirth (28 weeks gestation to delivery)	1.49 (1.33–1.69)	1.60 (1.37–1.87)	2.08 (1.41–3.07)
Early neonatal death (0–7 days)	1.57 (1.36–1.80)	2.02 (1.76–2.33)	1.86 (1.15–3.01)
Late neonatal death (8–28 days)	1.30 (0.98–1.72)	1.76 (1.31–2.37)	4.02 (1.94–8.10)
Early post neonatal death (29–180 days)	1.98 (1.63–2.41)	2.20 (1.64–2.94)	10.59 (5.16–21.74)

Analyses are adjust for maternal age, parity, living standard index, religion, number of children (0–12 yrs) in the household, mid upper arm circumference at third trimester, anemia during pregnancy, infection, vitamin supplementation group, and village cluster. The p-value for the interaction is <0.0001. The total sample size for this analysis was 41,087, corresponding to 19,799, 18,265, and 3,023 participants with zero, 1–9, and ≥ 10 years of education, respectively.

Risk of high depressive symptoms (3–5 symptoms) we assessed in relation to the reference group of low symptoms (0–2).
