Abstract

Introduction: Epidural labor analgesia may decrease the risk of postpartum depression (PPD). Methods: In a secondary analysis of a prospective study, the association between epidural utilization and PPD was evaluated using a Fisher's exact test. PPD was defined as an Edinburgh Postnatal Depression score of > 10 at 6-8 weeks postpartum.
