Temporal trends of co-diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety among female maternal and non-maternal hospitalizations: Results from Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2004-2013.

Perinatal depression/anxiety is considered the most underdiagnosed pregnancy complication in the US and is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. However, despite its prevalence, most women who present with depressive symptoms are not screened and do not receive adequate treatment. We examined the clinical co-diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety among maternal and non-maternal hospitalizations among females aged 14-49 from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) between 2004 and 2013 (n = 83,472,775).
