title: Postpartum depression and associated factors after emergency peripartum hysterectomy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate post-partum depression after emergency peripartum hysterectomy and associated factors.
  
  
  METHODS
  This cross-sectional controlled study was conducted at Batman Gynaecology and Paediatric Diseases Hospital, Batman, Turkey, between June 15 and July 23, 2015, and comprised cases of patients with peripartum hysterectomy and of those who had experienced surgical procedures other than hysterectomy (hypogastric artery ligation and/or B-Lynch suture). Both the groups were compared using Edinburgh Post-natal Depression Scale. SPSS 11.5 was used for data analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the 41 patients, there were 17(41.5%) in the non-hysterectomy group and 24(58.5%) in the hysterectomy group. In the hysterectomy group, the rates of intensive care stay, infant death and complications were higher (p<0.05). The scores of the Edinburgh Post-natal Depression Scale were higher in the hysterectomy group (p<0.05). Organ loss was determined to increase depression 114-fold (p=0.002).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Peripartum hysterectomy caused post-partum depression.
