Recommendations to Screen

ACOG Committee Opinion #757, 2018

• Obstetric providers to complete a full assessment of “mood and emotional wellbeing” including postpartum screening with a validated instrumentfor depression and anxiety

NICE (National Institute for Health and Care

Excellence) CG192, 2014

• EPDS or GAD7 if positive or at risk

• Consider ongoing screening until 1yr postpartumif regular contact with patient

When to Screen

• If no screening after 3 months, miss 25% of cases

• Suicide rate highest 9-12 months postpartum

• Bright Futures recommendation

• Well child visits at 1, 2, 4 and 6 months

How to Screen in the Era of COVID-19?

How are you doing this?

• Screening questionnaires as part of EMR

• Send questionnaires in advance

• Delay in seeing items related to suicidal thoughts

• Share screen and complete during visit

• Billing:

• As part of Well Child Visit: CPT 96161

• By interactive video/audio/phone/online patient portal: CPT 96127

Acceptability

• Patients - 80-90% find depression

screening to be acceptable, especially if:

• screening done by

paper/questionnaire/electronically

• results of screening discussed verbally

• they felt their healthcare professional was

engaged and empathetic

Liability

• Screening is “standard of care”

• Systematic, standardized approach

• Documentation of screening for maternal

depression as a risk factor for the child

Documentation

• Minimum – record that screening took place

and that referrals / recommendations were

provided

• Options for documentation:

- In child’s record

- In a stand-alone file

- Send to parent’s provider

Screening Tools

• PHQ-2 – brief; needs follow up

• EPDS-validated; not generalizable

• PHQ-9 – validated; high somatic symptom

loading; generalizable

Screening with the PHQ-2

• 2 items

• In the last 2 weeks, how often have you been

bothered by:

• Little interest or pleasure in doing things

• Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless

• Not at all (0), several days (1), more than half the

days (2), nearly every day (3)

• Score of 3 or more has sensitivity of 83%,

specificity of 92% for major depression

• <1 minute to administer

Screening with the PHQ-2 (continued)

• Parental Wellbeing Project (Dartmouth)

• 1398 parents screened at well child visits

• Accepted by parents; 6% nonresponse rate

• 17% had positive response to one item; 6% had score

of 3 or above

• 56.5% with score of 3 or above thought they might

be depressed; 83.5% of these willing to take action

• In 85-90% of cases, required <3 minutes extra

pediatrician time; >10 mins in 2% of cases

2 8 616

EPDS scores

• 10 items, each scored 0-3

• Items 1, 2, 4 are reverse-scored

• Score of 10 or more at 6-8 weeks

postpartum has 93% sensitivity, 83%

specificity for major depression

Case

The mother of the 4-month-old has a PHQ-9 score of 16 and has a score of 1 on question 9. You question her further and she reports feeling hopeless at times, but denies active suicidal thoughts or plans. You explain that postpartum depression is common, does not mean she is a bad mother, and can be treated. You refer her for counseling and to her PCP for antidepressant medication. You also refer her to Perinatal Support Washington and talk with her about maximizing sleep, social support, and exercise.
