LOINC Code


LOINC code71354-5
nameEdinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale [EPDS]
descriptionThe Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was as a simple means of screening for postnatal depression in health care settings. It can also be used by researchers seeking information on factors that influence the emotional well-being of new mothers and their families.The EPDS is only a screening test and does not diagnose postpartum depression. Answers to the 10 questions are scored from 0-3, and then summed for a Total score. Higher scores indicate a greater risk of depressive illness and the need for more thorough evaluation by appropriate licensed health care provider. [PMID: 3651732]
