Understanding whether depressive symptoms immediately postpartum, as detected by screening tools, predict later psychiatric diagnoses is crucial for guiding timely care and optimizing healthcare resources.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All participants completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) 2\u20135 days postpartum. Women with scores \u2265 10 were invited to the follow-up study, where psychiatric diagnoses at six weeks were assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview 5 (MINI). Sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV), and negative (NPV) predictive values were calculated. ROC analyses assessed predictive accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 403 women were included. EPDS scores of \u2265 16 for a major depressive episode (AUC = 0.78, sensitivity 0.71, specificity 0.84, PPV 0.14, NPV 0.99 within this high-risk sample) and \u2265 14 for any observed mental disorder (AUC = 0.69, sensitivity 0.65, specificity 0.73, PPV 0.24, NPV 0.94) were identified as optimal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In women with elevated depressive symptoms shortly after delivery, the EPDS showed high NPV, supporting its usefulness for ruling out severe psychopathology at six weeks postpartum. However, the low PPV indicates that elevated scores often reflect transient postpartum distress rather than a confirmed disorder. Routine immediate-postpartum EPDS screening should therefore be approached with caution. Findings support a tiered approach\u2014for example, brief initial inquiries followed by the EPDS and diagnostic follow-up for higher scores\u2014and the development of screening tools better adapted to the immediate postpartum period.<\/jats:p>\n
