The present study analyzes the incidence of perinatal post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Catalonia in 2021 from data obtained from the Registry of Morbidity and Use of Health Resources of Catalonia (MUSSCAT). The incidence of perinatal PTSD (1.87%) was lower than in comparable studies, suggesting underdiagnosis. Poisson regression adjusting for age, income, gestational weeks at delivery, type of delivery, and parity highlighted the influence of sociodemographics, and characteristics of the pregnancy and delivery on the risk of developing perinatal PTSD. These findings underline the need for further research on the risk factors identified and for the early detection and effective management of PTSD in the perinatal setting. 2024-02 2024-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14342/4096 https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare12080826 eng Healthcare, 2024, 12, 826 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess © L'autor/a Attribution 4.0 International MDPI
