We used four eligibility criteria: (a) article available in English, (b) study included a measure of dimensional or diagnostic depression, (c) include discrete experience of birth-related complication, and (d) included a statistical test of the bivariate association between depression in the postpartum period and a measure of birth-related complication. We excluded studies of newborn intensive care or infant health conditions, rather than maternal birth complications directly impacting the pregnant person\u2019s health. All analyses were conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software. We considered patterns in sampling, measurement, and analytic designs. To address publication bias, we examined funnel plots and calculated Egger\u2019s test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The review (61 studies; 1,853,282 total participants) revealed four categories of maternal birth complications (i.e., cesarean, preterm birth, pain, laceration). Both the narrative review and meta-analysis support positive associations between maternal birth complications overall and PPD symptoms and diagnoses (odds ratio, OR\u2009=\u20091.47, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with specific associations observed for cesarean deliveries (non-emergency: 1,792,725 participants; OR\u2009=\u20091.30, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001; emergency: 14,199 participants; OR\u2009=\u20091.48, p\u2009=\u20090.001), preterm birth (39,291 participants; OR\u2009=\u20091.97, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and pain (3,708 participants; OR\u2009=\u20091.75, p\u2009=\u20090.009). ORs were small-to-medium in magnitude.
