    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to clarify whether de novo urinary incontinence (UI) in the postpartum period is associated with depressive symptoms or antidepressant drug consumption. STUDY DESIGN: 2002 pregnant women were recruited between 2003 and 2006 for the EDEN mother-child cohort. This analysis included 1413 women who reported no UI before pregnancy. Severity of UI was assessed by the Sandvik index. At 4 and 12 months postpartum, depressive symptoms were assessed by the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS≥10 defines depressive symptoms) and consumption of antidepressant drugs was reported. RESULTS: At 4 months postpartum, 198 women (14%) reported de novo UI; 74% (n=146) reported mild UI, 26% (n=52) moderate, and none severe; prevalence of depressive symptoms was higher in women with than without UI (22.1% vs. 15.9%, p=0.045), and consumption of antidepressant drugs was more frequent (4.7% vs. 1.4%, p=0.005). At 12 months postpartum, the mean (±SD) EPDS score differed between women with than without UI (7.30±3.46 vs. 6.57±3.72, p=0.016) but was half that at 4 months postpartum. The incidence of new cases of depressive symptoms or antidepressant consumption at 12 months was greater with than without UI (23.8% vs. 15.3%, p=0.012). CONCLUSIONS: Although UI is mild in most cases at 4 months postpartum, it is followed by more new cases of depressive symptoms or antidepressant consumption at 12 months.
