- ObjectivesTo explore the association between postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and postpartum depression (PPD), taking into account the role of postpartum anaemia, delivery experience and psychiatric history.MethodsA nested cohort study (n = 446), based on two population-based cohorts in Uppsala, Sweden. Exposed individuals were defined as having a bleeding of ≥1000ml (n = 196) at delivery, and non-exposed individuals as having bleeding of <650ml (n = 250). Logistic regression models with PPD symptoms (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale (EPDS) score ≥ 12) as the outcome variable and PPH, anaemia, experience of delivery, mood during pregnancy and other confounders as exposure variables were undertaken. Path analysis using Structural Equation Modeling was also conducted.ResultsThere was no association between PPH and PPD symptoms. A positive association was shown between anaemia at discharge from the maternity ward and the development of PPD symptoms, even after controlling for plausible confounders (OR = 2.29, 95%CI = 1.15–4.58). Path analysis revealed significant roles for anaemia at discharge, negative self-reported delivery experience, depressed mood during pregnancy and postpartum stressors in increasing the risk for PPD.ConclusionThis study proposes important roles for postpartum anaemia, negative experience of delivery and mood during pregnancy in explaining the development of depressive symptoms after PPH.

- Objective To investigate mortality in anorexia nervosa (AN) with a psychiatric comorbidity. Methods Using Swedish registers, data for 8069 female inpatients with AN were retrospectively collected for 1973-2010. Mortality patterns were assessed using standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), Cox regression-derived hazard ratios, and incidence rate ratios. A control cohort of 76,995 women was used. Results Patients with AN and a psychiatric comorbidity had higher mortality rates did than those without a comorbidity. The SMRs for patients with AN and a psychiatric comorbidity were 5.4 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.6-6.4) and 18.1 (95% CI = 15.2-21.3) for natural and unnatural causes of death, respectively. The SMRs for patients with AN without a comorbidity were 2.8 (95% CI = 2.3-3.5) and 3.1 (95% CI = 2.2-4.1) for natural and unnatural causes of death, respectively. The adjusted hazard ratios for mortality from natural or unnatural causes were 2.0 (95% CI = 1.5-2.7) and 5.7 (95% CI = 3.9-8.2), respectively. Incidence rate ratios comparing patients with AN and controls, both with psychiatric comorbidities, suggest a negative synergistic effect of comorbid AN and psychiatric disorder on mortality, which was greater for unnatural causes of death. Conclusions Mortality in patients with AN was greater in the presence of a psychiatric comorbidity, and even more pronounced for unnatural causes of death and suicides. Substance abuse, especially alcohol use disorder, increased mortality from natural causes of death. These findings highlight the need for early detection and treatment of psychiatric comorbidity in AN, to potentially improve long-term outcomes.
