Data source
The computerised medical file allowed us to collect the social,
demographic, medical, and obstetric data of the women and their
children. To optimise exhaustiveness, this database was crossed with
those of the hospital’s blood bank, radiology department, and discharge
data programme (PMSI).
Self-administered questionnaires specific to the study were completed by
the women immediately postpartum (on paper) and at 2, 6, and 12 months
(on line). These questionnaires asked about medication consumption/use
and consultations with psychologists and/or psychiatrists. They also
included questionnaires described above, validated in French, to assess
the 3 psychological disorders under study. To assess these women’s
preexisting depressive and anxious characteristics, version 5 of the
Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview MINI28was completed at inclusion, M6, and M12, as well as the STAI form
Y-B,25 with a discrimination threshold ≥48, only at
inclusion (Figure 1).
