General medical conditions and mortality in women with postpartum psychiatric disorders

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica Sep 30, 2020

Johannsen BMW, Laursen TM, Bech BH, et al. - In women with a broad spectrum of postpartum psychiatric disorders (PPD), the risk of subsequent general medical conditions and mortality were explored. Researchers conducted a register‐based cohort study to follow all Danish women born after January 1, 1960, until January 1, 2016, which included 1,841,949 women representing 22,615,310 person‐years at risk. Researchers found a higher risk of any subsequent general medical condition among 15,852 women with mild‐moderate PPD and 4,266 women with severe PPD vs the female background population. In both groups, mortality from both natural and unnatural causes was higher. Women at either end of the spectrum are at elevated risk of subsequent chronic medical conditions and overall mortality, as seen in this first overview of general medical prognosis in PPD.
