From: Maternal postpartum depressive symptoms partially mediate the association between preterm birth and mental and behavioral disorders in children

Figure 1

Mediation analysis showing that the effect of preterm birth on mental and behavioral disorders in children until age 8.4–12.8 years, is partially mediated via maternal postpartum depressive symptoms. Model 1 refers to unadjusted associations and Model 2 to associations adjusted for maternal age at delivery, education, smoking and/or alcohol use at any time during pregnancy, delivery mode and child sex and age at diagnosis. The effects are shown as mean differences (MD) and their 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI).
