Association between perinatal mood and anxiety disorder diagnosis and primary cesarean delivery among national Medicaid enrollees, 2017-2022.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Cesarean deliveries can have an association with adverse maternal health outcomes, yet the relationship between perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) and cesarean rates among publicly insured populations remains understudied and potentially underestimated. Materials and methods: Using the most current national Medicaid claims data from 2017 to 2022, this study examined the association between PMAD during pregnancy and primary cesarean delivery among reproductive-aged Medicaid beneficiaries with live births. Results: The study cohort included 3,365,248 Medicaid deliveries, of which 9.13% had a PMAD diagnosis during pregnancy. Adjusted logistic regression analyses revealed that women with PMAD had 13% greater odds of undergoing a primary cesarean delivery (Adjusted OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.12-1.14) than women without PMAD, after accounting for maternal age, race/ethnicity, metropolitan area residence status, and comorbid medical conditions. Conclusion: Among Medicaid enrollees, those with PMAD diagnoses had greater primary cesarean delivery rates than those without PMAD diagnoses. These findings highlight the complex interplay between maternal mental health and delivery outcomes. Study findings may support the development of effective healthcare strategies to address mental health and birth outcomes across diverse perinatal populations.
