Nahirney M, et al. - Researchers performed a prospective analysis to determine if there exists any relationship of epidural analgesia to a lower risk of postpartum depression (PPD) (at either 6 weeks or 6 months postpartum) after attempting to adequately adjust for selection bias and confounding variables. No significant link between epidural use and PPD was found. Despite wide confidence intervals [CIs], it was not believed that this masks a clinically relevant link and, as such, the risks and benefits of epidural analgesia communicated to women during labor and delivery should not be modified.
