- Study explores the association between sleep quality trajectories during pregnancy and postpartum depression.
- Identified two sleep quality trajectories: 'increasingly poor' (41.4%) and 'stably good' (58.6%).
- The 'increasingly poor' trajectory had a higher rate of postpartum depression (OR = 2.75, P < 0.001).
- Core depressive symptoms varied between trajectories, indicating the need for tailored interventions.
- Used group-based trajectory modeling and network analysis for data evaluation.
