Features of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy as predictive factors of post-partum depression: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the association between nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP), including hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), and postpartum depression (PPD), and to identify predictive symptoms of PPD to improve preventive care and follow-up.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted in six databases from inception to June 25, 2024, using predefined keywords and MeSH terms related to PPD and pregnancy-related vomiting. Eligible studies included original research articles examining the association between PPD and NVP (any duration or severity, including HG). Articles were restricted to English or French. Diagnostic criteria for NVP and PPD had to be clearly specified. The systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024508214). S
