Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Pregnant patients are vulnerable to both depression and sleep-disordered breathing, and both convey risks for maternal and fetal outcomes. Previous research has indicated that sleep-disordered breathing is associated with depression, but further information related to the risk of depression based on timing of onset of snoring is needed. DESIGN: When presenting to clinic for their initial prenatal visit, pregnant patients completed a packet of questionnaires, which included measures related to depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) and snoring. Habitual snoring was defined as snoring 3 or more nights per week. RESULTS: In total, 1367 women were included and 34.1% reported habitual snoring, either chronic (24.4%) or pregnancy-onset (9.8%), with increased frequency of pregnancy-onset habitual snoring in later stages of pregnancy. Unadjusted analyses suggested increased odds of depressive symptoms in chronic and pregnancy-onset habitual snoring groups relative to nonsnorers (odds ratio [OR]: 2.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.39, 2.92, P < .01; OR: 2.50, 95% CI: 1.54, 4.07, P < .01, respectively). These findings were maintained after adjusting for maternal age, marital status, gestational age, and parity (chronic habitual snoring OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.14, 2.53, P < .01; pregnancy-onset habitual snoring OR: 2.79, 95% CI: 1.35, 5.78, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Maternal snoring may be a risk factor for prenatal depressive symptoms. Pregnancy-onset habitual snoring confers additional risk for depression compared to not snoring during pregnancy.
