Öğe Birth Weight and Preterm Birth in Babies of Pregnant Women With Major Depression in Relation to Treatment With Antidepressants(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2014) Sahingoz, Mine; Yuksel, Goksen; Karsidag, Cagatay; Uguz, Faruk; Sonmez, Erdem Onder; Annagur, Bilge Burcak; Annagur, AliObjective It is unclear whether antidepressant treatment has a preventive effect on negative neonatal outcomes due to major depression in pregnant women. The objective of the present study was to compare women with major depression treated with antidepressants, untreated women with major depression, and healthy women during pregnancy with respect to birth weight and preterm birth. Methods The study sample included a total of 23 women taking antidepressant medication, 36 women who were not taking antidepressant medication for major depression during pregnancy, and 30 healthy women. Major depression was diagnosed via the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition. Results The study groups were similar with respect to sociodemographic characteristics. Compared with infants of healthy control subjects, infants of untreated major depressed women had significantly lower birth weight and shorter gestational age at delivery. There is no significant difference between infants of major depressed women treated with antidepressants and infants of healthy subjects for these variables. Conclusions Our results suggest that antidepressants may have beneficial effects on the risk of low birth weight and preterm birth in the infants of depressed women.Öğe The effects of maternal major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder on birth weight and gestational age: A comparative study(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013) Uguz, Faruk; Sahingoz, Mine; Sonmez, Erdem Onder; Karsidag, Cagatay; Yuksel, Goksen; Annagur, Bilge Burcak; Annagur, AliObjective: The present study comparatively examined the impact of maternal major depression, generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder on gestational age and birth weight. Methods: A total of 90 women (24 subjects with major depression, 19 subjects with panic disorder, 22 subjects with generalized anxiety disorder, and 25 healthy subjects) in the perinatal period who were admitted to three hospitals were included in the study. Psychiatric diagnoses were determined by means of the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition. The birth weight and gestational age of the subjects in each groups were compared with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: There were significant differences among the study groups for birth weight and gestational age (P < 0.001 for both variables). These parameters were significantly lower in the subjects with major depression (P = 0.021 and P = 0.015, respectively) and panic disorder (P < 0.001 for both variables) compared to healthy controls. Compared with major depression, panic disorder was associated more negatively with birth weight (P = 0.036). Conclusion: Major depression, and especially panic disorder, may negatively affect the gestational length and birth weight. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
