Initial screening was conducted independently by two reviewers. Studies selected for detailed review were read in full and included based on a set of criteria. Data from selected studies were abstracted onto a standardized form.

The synthesis of studies controlling for confounding variables showed that the mean cognitive score for children 6\u20138 weeks post-partum whose mothers had high depressive symptoms during the first few weeks postpartum was approximately 4.2 units lower on the Mental Developmental Index (MDI) of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID) compared with children with non-symptomatic mothers (<jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\u0302 = \u22124.17, 95% CI \u22128.01 to \u22120.32).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S003329171600283X_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results indicated that maternal depressive symptoms are related to lower cognitive scores in early infancy, after adjusting for confounding factors.
