Figure 1. Patient selection. Abbreviations. ECT, Electroconvulsive therapy; IP, Inpatient; OP, Outpatient; PPD, Postpartum depression; SNRIs, Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors; SSRIs, Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors; TMS, Transcranial magnetic stimulation. aNewborns must have been linked to one mother, listed as child in relation to mother, and have had date of birth after index date and date of birth ≤1 day apart where ≥2 newborns. Additionally, mother and family member should not have had the same delivery date.
Table 1. Maternal baseline characteristics: matched PPD exposure versus non-PPD exposure cohorts.
Table 2. Demographic and clinical characteristics of children over 24-month follow-up period: matched PPD exposure versus non-PPD exposure cohorts.
Figure 2. Most commonly prescribed medications among children over 24-month follow-up period: matched PPD exposure versus non-PPD exposure cohorts. *p < 0.001 for PPD exposure versus non-PPD exposure cohorts. Abbreviations. PPD, Postpartum depression. Sympathomimetic drugs included acetaminophen, albuterol, aspirin, ephedrine, epinephrine, and ibuprofen.

Figure 3. All-cause healthcare costs among children over 24-month follow-up period: matched PPD exposure versus non-PPD exposure cohorts. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 for PPD exposure versus non-PPD exposure cohorts. Abbreviations. PPD, Postpartum depression. aMean costs for each healthcare service component (e.g. inpatient, emergency room) were calculated among patients with at least one encounter of that type.
