Introduction: Preterm labor occurs before 37 weeks. Several causal factors have been identified, such as the development of depression in pregnant women. In our country there are few studies on this subject. Objectives: To evaluate the association between maternal depression in the second and third trimester of pregnancy and the development of preterm labor. Methods: The study was carried out in a public hospital in Lima, Peru from June to December 2021. It is a prospective cohort study that included 211 pregnant women evaluated between 13 and 36 weeks of gestation in their prenatal controls. Perinatal and obstetric data were obtained from the pregnant women's medical records. The PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire) survey was used as an instrument to measure depression. STATA version 16 was used to analyze the database. Results: The median age was 28; 81.04% were in the third trimester, 64.93% of the pregnant women did not work, 71.09% were cohabitants and 55.5% had higher education. Preterm delivery had an incidence of 10.9%. There was a significant association with preeclampsia and prenatal controls in the bivariate analysis. In adjusted multivariate analysis, there was no significant association between depression and preterm delivery (95% CI 0.43-1.94). Conclusions: Further longitudinal studies should be conducted to better assess the relationship between depression in pregnancy and preterm delivery.
