Weekly admission rates were calculated for the pregnancy period, early postpartum period (6\u2005weeks after birth) and late postpartum period (up to 2\u2005years after birth), and compared with pre-pregnancy rates (up to 2\u2005years before pregnancy). Admission rates were generated by calculating the total number of admissions for each time period divided by the number of weeks in the period. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were generated for each time period, using deprivation, age, parity and record of previous psychiatric hospital care-adjusted Poisson regression models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Women from more deprived social quintiles accounted for the largest proportion of admissions across all time periods. Compared with pre-pregnancy period, admission rates fell during pregnancy, increased markedly during the early postpartum period, and remained elevated for 2\u2005years after childbirth. Within the most affluent quintile, admission IRRs were higher in the early postpartum period (IRR=1.29, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.59) than in the late postpartum period (IRR=0.87, 95% CI 0.74 to 0.98). For the late postpartum period, there was a positive association between higher maternal age and admission IRRs (ages 20\u201335\u2005years, IRR=1.35, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.54 and age&gt;40\u2005years IRR=1.72, 95% CI 1.41 to 2.09).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Rates of psychiatric admission fell during pregnancy and increased in the early postpartum period (particularly during the first 2\u2005weeks after birth), and remained elevated above baseline during the 2-year late postpartum period. An understanding of how social deprivation, age and parity might influence risk of psychiatric admission at different time points could help to target perinatal mental health services more effectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2015-008758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,14]],"date-time":"2016-02-14T17:19:35Z","timestamp":1455470375000},"page":"e008758","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Admission to psychiatric hospital in the early and late postpartum periods: Scottish national linkage study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Julie","family":"Langan Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health and Wellbeing, University of Glasgow, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Gartnavel Royal Hospital, Glasgow, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"McLean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health and Wellbeing, University of Glasgow, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Gartnavel Royal Hospital, Glasgow, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roch","family":"Cantwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perinatal Mental Health Service, Leverndale Hospital, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Glasgow, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel J","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health and Wellbeing, University of Glasgow, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Gartnavel Royal Hospital, Glasgow, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"637","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2008.1229","article-title":"Persistence of Maternal Depressive Symptoms throughout the early years of childhood","volume":"18","author":"Horowitz","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Womens Health"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00737-008-0028-3"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10995-012-1005-z"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.172.6.521"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2005.05.002"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-0327(94)90034-5"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09540269609037816"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0954026031000136857"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"385","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2015.01.012","article-title":"Risk factors and course patterns of anxiety and depressive disorders during pregnancy and after delivery: a prospective-longitudinal study","volume":"175","author":"Martini","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Affect Disord"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.150.5.662"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.296.21.2582"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.186.6.453"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"168","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapsychiatry.2013.279","article-title":"Perinatal episodes across the Mood Disorder Spectrum","volume":"70","author":"Di Florio","year":"2013","journal-title":"JAMA Psychiatry"},{"key":"2025121406585516000_6.1.e008758.14","unstructured":"Brockington IF .
