Childhood Abuse, Intimate Partner Violence and Risk of Migraine Among Pregnant Women: An Epidemiologic Study.
Headache, 2016Co-Authors: Bizu Gelaye, Sixto E. Sanchez, Qiu-yue Zhong, Samantha Avila, Juan Carlos Q. Velez, B. Lee Peterlin, Michelle A. WilliamsAbstract:OBJECTIVE: To examine the independent and joint associations of Childhood Abuse and intimate partner violence with migraine among pregnant women. BACKGROUND: Childhood Abuse and intimate partner violence have each been associated with migraine headaches in previous studies, but these associations have not been explored among pregnant women. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a cohort of 2970 pregnant women attending prenatal clinics in Lima, Peru. History of Childhood Abuse (ie, physical or sexual Abuse) was assessed using the Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse Questionnaire. Intimate partner violence (IPV) was assessed using the World Health Organization questionnaire. Migraine classification (including migraine and probable migraine) was based on International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-III beta criteria. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). RESULTS: The prevalence of any migraine was 33.5% while approximately 70% of participants reported a history of Childhood Abuse and 36.7% a history of IPV. Women with a history of any Childhood Abuse had a 38% increased odds of any migraine compared to women with no history of Childhood Abuse (OR = 1.38; 95% CI 1.15-1.64). The odds of migraine increased with increasing numbers of experienced Childhood Abuse events (Ptrend CONCLUSION: Childhood Abuse and IPV are associated with increased odds of migraine in pregnant women. Our findings highlight the importance of screening for Abuse among pregnant migraineurs to help guide treatment strategies.© 2016 American Headache Society. Language: en

Childhood Abuse and suicidal ideation in a cohort of pregnant Peruvian women
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2016Co-Authors: Qiu-yue Zhong, Yasmin V. Barrios, Sixto E. Sanchez, Michelle A. Williams, Anne Wells, Marta B. Rondon, Bizu GelayeAbstract:Childhood Abuse is a major global and public health problem associated with a myriad of adverse outcomes across the life course. Suicide is one of the leading causes of mortality during the perinatal period. However, few studies have assessed the relationship between experiences of Childhood Abuse and suicidal ideation in pregnancy. We sought to examine the association between exposure to Childhood Abuse and suicidal ideation among pregnant women. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 2964 pregnant women attending prenatal clinics in Lima, Peru. Childhood Abuse was assessed using the Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse Questionnaire. Depression and suicidal ideation were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 scale. Logistic regression procedures were performed to estimate adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals adjusted for potential confounders. Overall, the prevalence of Childhood Abuse in this cohort was 71.8% and antepartum suicidal ideation was 15.8%. The prevalence of antepartum suicidal ideation was higher among women who reported experiencing any Childhood Abuse compared to those reporting none (89.3% vs 10.7%, P < .0001). After adjusting for potential confounders, including antepartum depression and lifetime intimate partner violence, those with history of any Childhood Abuse had a 2.9-fold (2.90, adjusted odds ratio; 95% confidence interval, 2.12-3.97) increased odds of reporting suicidal ideation. Women who experienced both physical and sexual Childhood Abuse had much higher odds of suicidal ideation (adjusted odds ratio, 4.04; 95% confidence interval, 2.88-5.68). Women who experienced any Childhood Abuse and reported depression had 3.44-fold (3.44, adjusted odds ratio; 95% confidence interval, 1.84-6.43) increased odds of suicidal ideation compared with depressed women with no history of Childhood Abuse. Finally, the odds of suicidal ideation increased with increased number of Childhood Abuse events experienced (P value for linear trend < .001). Maternal history of Childhood Abuse was associated with increased odds of antepartum suicidal ideation. It is important for clinicians to be aware of the potential increased risk of suicidal behaviors among pregnant women with a history of Childhood physical and sexual Abuse.

Childhood Abuse is associated with stress-related sleep disturbance and poor sleep quality in pregnancy.
Sleep medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Bizu Gelaye, Sixto E. Sanchez, Qiu-yue Zhong, Marta B. Rondon, Sandhya Kajeepeta, Christina P.c. Borba, David C. Henderson, Michelle A. WilliamsAbstract:Abstract Objectives Childhood Abuse is associated with increased risks of adult psychiatric disorders and physical health conditions. Mounting evidence documents associations of Childhood Abuse with sleep disturbances in adulthood. However, to date, no study has evaluated associations of Childhood Abuse and sleep disturbances among pregnant women. Methods This cross-sectional study included 634 pregnant Peruvian women. To collect information regarding socio-demographic characteristics, history of Childhood Abuse, and complaints of sleep disturbances, face-to-face interviews were conducted with women in early pregnancy. Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test (FIRST-S) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-S), translated from English to Spanish, were used to assess stress-related sleep disturbance and sleep quality, respectively. Logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Results Women who experienced any Childhood Abuse had a 1.65-fold increased odds of stress-related sleep disturbance (aOR = 1.65; 95% CI: 1.15–2.38) and 2.11-fold increased odds of poor sleep quality during early pregnancy (aOR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.35–3.30) as compared with women who reported no Abuse. Women who reported both physical and sexual Abuse during Childhood were more than twice as likely to suffer from stress-related sleep disturbance (aOR = 2.26; 95% CI: 1.44–3.53) and poor sleep quality (aOR = 2.43; 95% CI: 1.45–4.09) in comparison to women who reported no Childhood Abuse. Conclusions A history of Childhood Abuse is associated with increased odds of stress-related sleep disturbance and poor sleep quality during pregnancy. These findings, if replicated, should be used to inform the development of trauma-informed care for such sleep disturbances induced by Childhood trauma.

Childhood Abuse and Early Menarche Among Peruvian Women
The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Yasmin V. Barrios, Sixto E. Sanchez, Christina Nicolaidis, Pedro J. Garcia, Bizu Gelaye, Qiu-yue Zhong, Michelle A. WilliamsAbstract:Childhood Abuse has been associated with age of menarche in some studies, but not all, and few have assessed the independent associations of sexual and physical Abuse with early menarche. We examined the association between Childhood Abuse and early menarche among pregnant women in Lima, Peru. Multinomial logistic regression procedures were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for early menarche (≤11 years) in relation to any physical or sexual Childhood Abuse, physical Abuse only, sexual Abuse only, and both physical and sexual Abuse in a cohort of 1,499 pregnant (first trimester) women. Approximately 69% of participants reported experiencing physical or sexual Abuse in Childhood. The frequencies of physical Abuse only, sexual Abuse only, and both physical and sexual Abuse were 37.4%, 7.7%, and 24.5%, respectively. Compared with women who reported no Childhood Abuse, those who reported any Childhood Abuse had a 1.38-fold increased odds of early menarche (95% CI, 1.01-1.87). Compared with no Abuse, the odds of early menarche was 1.60-fold among women with Childhood sexual Abuse only (OR, 1.60; 95% CI, .93-2.74) and 1.56-fold for those with both physical and sexual Abuse (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.07-2.25) during Childhood. Isolated physical Abuse was weakly associated with early menarche (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, .87-1.74). There was no clear evidence of association of Childhood Abuse with late menarche (≥15 years). Childhood Abuse, particularly joint physical and sexual Abuse, is associated with early menarche. Our findings add to an expanding body of studies documenting the enduring adverse health consequences of Childhood Abuse. Copyright © 2015 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder following Childhood Abuse increases the severity of suicide attempts
Journal of Affective Disorders, 2015Co-Authors: Jorge Lopez-castroman, Isabelle Jaussent, Séverine Béziat, Sébastien Guillaume, Enrique Baca-garcía, Emilie Olié, Philippe CourtetAbstract:OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Childhood Abuse are both consistently associated with a higher risk for suicide attempts. We hypothesize that among patients reporting Childhood Abuse, PTSD diagnoses are correlated with an increased severity of suicidal features. METHOD: We investigated 726 adult patients who had attempted suicide. These participants were assessed on lifetime clinical diagnoses and Childhood Abuse. The association of PTSD and Childhood Abuse dimensions with age at first suicide attempt, number of suicide attempts, violent attempts, serious attempts and suicide intent was studied. An adjusted multinomial logistic regression was performed to ascertain if Childhood Abuse and PTSD increased the severity of the suicidal behavior when combined. RESULTS: Several types of Childhood Abuse (emotional, physical and sexual Abuse) when combined with a lifetime diagnosis of PTSD showed an increased risk for more suicide attempts, serious attempts, and a higher level of suicidal intent compared with the absence of any or both risk factors. CONCLUSION: The combination of PTSD and Childhood Abuse should be investigated in clinical settings due to an augmented risk for more severe suicidal behavior.

Suicide Ideation among Pregnant Women: The Role of Different Experiences of Childhood Abuse
Journal of affective disorders, 2020Co-Authors: Xuan Zhang, Jiwei Sun, Juan Wang, Qingyi Chen, Dan-feng Cao, Jianwen Wang, Fenglin CaoAbstract:Abstract Background Childhood Abuse has a negative effect on mental health during pregnancy; however, the association between Childhood Abuse and suicide ideation has received relatively little attention. Method Women at 28 weeks or more into their pregnancy were recruited from a prenatal clinic in Shandong province, China. Suicide ideation was measured using item 9 of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Childhood Abuse was measured using Childhood Abuse subscales of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Results Women with any experience of Childhood Abuse had high risk of suicide ideation (OR = 2.44, 95%CI: 1.31–4.55). The association of continuous Childhood Abuse scores with suicide ideation was consistent with the finding using dichotomous Childhood Abuse (OR = 1.07, 95%CI: 1.02–1.12). After adjustment for depression, pregnant women with only physical Abuse experience had high risk of suicide ideation (OR = 3.63, 95%CI: 1.32–10.03). Pregnant women with both Childhood Abuse and depression had increased risk of suicide ideation compared to those with neither risk factor (OR = 17.78, 95%CI 7.20–43.92). Limitations Using a self-report measure to assess Childhood Abuse is susceptible to recall bias. Using a single item to measure suicide ideation and assessing only suicide ideation were limitations of the study. Conclusions Pregnant women who experienced Childhood Abuse, especially physical Abuse, had a high risk of suicide ideation during pregnancy. Screening for both Childhood Abuse and antenatal depression may be an effective way to identify high-risk groups with suicide ideation.
