OBJECTIVE: Depressive symptoms can be associated with lower health-related quality of life in late pregnancy. Few studies have quantified the effect of depressive symptoms in early pregnancy or among a racially and economically diverse group. Our goal was to estimate the independent association of depressive symptoms with health-related quality of life among a diverse group of women in early pregnancy. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 175 pregnant women receiving prenatal care in a community and university-based setting. We related the presence of depressive symptoms, defined as a Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale score of 16 or more to health-related quality of life scores from the 8 Medical Outcomes Study Short Form domains: Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, Vitality, General Health, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health. Quantile regression was used to measure the independent association of depressive symptoms with each of the 8 domains. RESULTS: The study sample was 49% African American, 38% white, and 11% Asian. Mean (+/- standard deviation) gestational age was 14 +/- 6 weeks. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 15%. Women with depressive symptoms had significantly lower health-related quality of life scores in all domains except Physical Functioning. After adjustment for sociodemographic, clinical, and social support factors, depressive symptoms were associated with health-related quality of life scores that were 30 points lower in Role-Physical, 19 points lower in Bodily Pain, 10 points lower in General Health, and 56 points lower in Role-Emotional. CONCLUSION: Women in early pregnancy with depressive symptoms have poor health-related quality of life. Early identification and management of depressive symptoms in pregnant women may improve their sense of well-being.
