, SaO2% , and pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) , and those receiving combination therapy or monotherapy, and the parameters were compared between the groups. Results: pPTT was shorter in the group with SaO2 > 90%, which was attributed to the high number of patients with idiopathic PAH in this group and more severe PAH stage. PAAcTc was shorter in patients who showed no clinical improvement on monotherapy and required multidrug therapy. RAAI was significantly increased in patients with pro-BNP > 100 pg/ml. A decreased pPTT, accompanied by a lower PAAcTc in the group with PA/Ao >1.5, indicated the severity of PAH in this group. Conclusion: When managing PAH patients, the presence of RAAI > 18 cm2/m2, PA/Ao > 1.5, and PAAcTc < 80 msn indicates a higher disease severity, and suggested that the patients’ treatment regimen should be re-evaluated based on these parameters. Also, the RAAI parameter shows the closest association with pro-BNP levels, which is one of the correct prognosis indicators.]]>

12 was considered having PPD. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 28.48 ± 5.50 years. The prevalence of depression was 24.1% in 12 weeks after delivery. Higher social support was associated with lower PPD [OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.88, 0.95; p <0.001]. The risk of developing PPD was 4.84 times higher in mothers with cesarean section [OR: 4.84, 95% CI: 1.89, 12.36; p =0.001], 5.19 times higher with preterm birth [OR: 5.19, 95% CI: 1.44, 18.27; p =0.01], 4.47 times higher with a history of depression [OR: 4.47, 95% CI: 1.40, 14.24; p =0.009]. The women who were satisfied with their marital relationship [OR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.96; p=0.04], and the baby's sleep habits [OR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.82; p =0.01] were less likely to suffer from PPD. Conclusion Postpartum depression was found common among mothers. The poor social support, poor marital relationship, cesarean section, preterm birth, positive history of depression, and adverse baby's sleep habits were associated with PPD. The vulnerable women should monitor their mental status and should be educated about the effective intervention strategies.]]>
