Objective: To study the clinical value of Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) in screening postpartum depression (PPD). Methods: 1600 parturients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were investigated by general situation questionnaire and EPDS six weeks after delivery, and the results were analyzed according to different EPDS thresholds. Results: The limit value of PPD screening was 9/10 of EPDS score. In univariate analysis, the significant factors were age, pregnancy, parity, education level, family income per capita (month), feeding mode of newborn, development status, gender and expected conformity, living conditions and marital relationship. In multivariate analysis, the number of pregnancies, feeding mode, neonatal development status, gender. PPD was affected by expectation, living conditions and husband-wife relationship to varying degrees, and the overall difference of the model was significant (P < 0.05). When the threshold value was 12/13 of EPDS score, univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in pregnancy, parity, mode of delivery, neonatal development, gender and expectation conformity, life status and marital relationship (P < 0.05); in multivariate analysis, the number of pregnancies, mode of delivery, mode of delivery, neonatal development, gender and expectation conformity, living conditions were significant differences (P < 0.05). The difference was significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In PPD screening, the threshold value is set at 9/10 of EPDS. Establishing the corresponding risk prediction model has an important positive significance for early detection and treatment of PPD.
