Screen for Prevalence of Positive screen of PPD in select Spanish

population at Well Child visit, in New York City by using EPDS.

DESCRIPTION: Studies have shown that about 10% to 20% of all new mothers

develop postpartum depression (PPD) and that many depressed mothers remain

untreated.

Unfortunately, a woman's primary care physician may not have many chances

to diagnose PPD. These women typically don't see their obstetricians until

their six-week check and then not again for another year.

These mothers, however, make sure that their infants routinely see their

pediatricians for well baby checks. So we may very well be the only

physicians who has the opportunity to screen moms for PPD.

Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a well-validated, 10 item

self-report scale to screen for PPD. It has been developed to assist

primary care health professionals to detect mothers suffering from PPD.

Cholestasis of Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcome: A Retrospective Chart Review

DESCRIPTION: Maternal cholestasis has been associated with adverse neonatal

outcomes but there is insufficient data to support the cause effect

relationship. None of the studies so far has correlated bile acid levels

with the neonatal outcome.

Our is the first study which is correlating maternal and cord bile acid

levels with the neonatal outcome in terms of: resuscitation required, APGAR

score, gestational age, admission to NICU/ intermediate/ transitional/ WBN,

any comorbities (RDS, jaundice, others), length of stay in the nursery.
