  1. Interaction terms between PPI at different levels and pregancy depression are included. Bold values indicate P < 0.05.
  2. aUnivariable logistic regression.
  3. bModel had interaction term between PPI and depression during pregnancy, adjusted for initial startle response value, maternal age, prepregnancy BMI, education level (university versus non-university), employment (employed full-time or part-time versus unemployed/studying/parental leave/sick leave), anxiety at time of ASR measurement, PMS or PMDD (yes versus no), SSRI use in pregnancy (yes versus no) and sleep the night before ASR measurement.
