Universal screening of postpartum depression with Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale: A prospective observational study.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility of universal screening of postpartum depression (PPD), using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) in the general population. To investigate the proportion of women identified as being at risk of PPD and with confirmed PPD or other mental disorders after a psychiatric consultation.

Methods: A multicenter prospective cohort study in four French maternities conducted between 2020 and 2023.

Trial of labour versus elective caesarean delivery for estimated large for gestational age foetuses after prior caesarean delivery: a multicenter retrospective study.

Background: Lower rates of successful trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) in association with fetal macrosomia were previously reported. This study aimed to compare TOLAC to elective caesarean delivery (CD) in women with estimated fetal weight large for gestational age (eLGA) and a prior CD. Primary outcome was to analyse the mode of delivery in case of TOLAC.

Comparative evaluation of the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on perinatal experience: A prospective multicentre study.

Objectives: To compare in the early postpartum the perinatal experience during a COVID-19 related lockdown ('lockdown' group) and a pandemic control group subject to looser restrictions.

Design And Setting: This national multicentre prospective cohort study took place in four French maternity units.

Population: Women were recruited during the postpartum stay for the lockdown and pandemic control groups, according to their enrolment period.

Birth experience during COVID-19 confinement (CONFINE): protocol for a multicentre prospective study.

Introduction: The absence of companionship during childbirth is known to be responsible for negative emotional birth experience, which can increase the risk of postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The context of COVID-19 epidemic and the related confinement could increase the rate of negative experience and mental disorders. The main objective is to compare, in immediate post partum, the maternal sense of control during childbirth between a group of women who gave birth during confinement ('confinement' group) versus a group of women who gave birth after confinement but in the context of epidemic ('epidemic' group) versus a group of control women ('control' group; excluding confinement and epidemic context).
