產後抑鬱症預測研究模型
西班牙瓦倫西亞9月21日（合眾國際社） -西班牙研究人員說，他們已經開發了一個模型來預測產後抑鬱症。
這項研究發表在醫學方法的信息說，他們的模型預測能力的母親的抑鬱症風險，發展中國家在分娩後的幾個月是百分之八十。
“現在需要的臨床評價，以及精神科醫師開始測試它直接影響病人，以研究這些工具的真正潛力，“第一作者薩爾瓦多 Tortajada香港理工大學在西班牙的瓦倫西亞在聲明中說。
研究人員檢查1397西班牙婦女生下了誰2003年12月至2004年10月在七家醫院在西班牙。他們使用一種類型的建模人工神經元網絡，他們呼籲並提取了一系列突出的風險因素在以往的研究。
風險因素包括社會支持程度為母親之前，精神問題的家庭，出生時的情緒變化，神經質，多態性在運輸血清素的基因。
他們還發現，晚生和在懷孕期間工作均能降低風險。

VALENCIA, Spain, Sept. 21 (UPI) — Spanish researchers say they have developed a model to predict postnatal depression.
The study, published in Methods of Information in Medicine, says the predictive power of their model of mothers’ risks for developing depression in the months following childbirth is 80 percent.
『Now it needs clinical evaluation, and for psychiatrists to start to test it directly on patients in order to study the true potential of these tools,』 lead author Salvador Tortajada of the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain said in a statement.
The researchers examined 1,397 Spanish women who gave birth from December 2003 to October 2004 in seven hospitals in Spain. They used a type of modeling they call artificial neuronal networks and extracted a series of risk factors highlighted in previous studies.
The risk factors included the extent of social support for the mother, prior psychiatric problems in the family, emotional changes during birth, neuroticism and polymorphisms in the serotonin transport gene.
They also discovered being older and working during pregnancy both decreased the risk.
