Preterm birth and antidepressant medication use during pregnancy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Preterm birth is a major contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality and its rate has been increasing over the past two decades. Antidepressant medication use during pregnancy has also been rising, with rates up to 7.5% in the US. The objective was to systematica...
