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).
