Note: Serious mental illness includes bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or other related psychotic disorders.
↵a 5.3% (6172) of the original population (116 457) had no socioeconomic status recorded.
↵b Number of women in each deprivation quintile.
↵c Number of women with SMI.
↵d Odds ratio and 95% CI adjusted for calendar time and number of previous known live births. SMI = serious mental illness.
↵e Likelihood ratio test for interaction between deprivation quintile and age group: during pregnancy P = 0.79; after pregnancy P = 0.39.
↵f P-value for trend from least to most deprivation excluding women with missing information for socioeconomic status. AOR = adjusted odds ratio.
