History of Substance Use Disorder and Health Outcomes —the Need for a Better Research Method to Determine Total Substance Use Exposure—Reply
In Reply We thank Christian et al for raising concerns that (1) chronic diseases, rather than substance use disorder (SUD), may be more directly responsible for adverse outcomes of COVID-19 infection and (2) SUD itself can cause chronic somatic and mental health disorders. Both concerns are valid and important. These suggest new directions for research to describe the relative impact of chronic diseases and SUD on outcomes of COVID-19 infection. We agree that a better understanding of how medications prescribed for opioid use disorder (eg, methadone or buprenorphine) alter COVID-19 risk among persons with this SUD would be...

Substance Use Disorder and Health Outcomes in COVID-19 —the Need for a Better Research Method to Determine Substance Use Exposure
To the Editor We were excited to read the article by Schieber and colleagues that describes an impressively large, retrospective, cross-sectional study demonstrating that among patients presenting to the emergency department who tested positive for COVID-19 infection, individuals with both psychiatric and substance use disorder (SUD) diagnoses had greater probability of hospitalization compared with either disorder alone or neither disorder. The authors briefly describe an important limitation of the study: that the exposure of SUD was determined based on International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Hea...

Estimated Prevalence of Perinatal Depression in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Considering Uncertainty of Test Properties —Reply
In Reply We thank Pacheco and colleagues for their interest in our article. Most of the prevalence estimates we report in our systematic review and meta-analysis were derived from screening tools applied to large populations (most commonly the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale). They present a subanalysis, recalculating the prevalence for depression where they account for the presumed screening performance of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (ie, sensitivity and specificity), and they include a bayesian adjustment.

Estimated Prevalence of Perinatal Depression in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Considering Uncertainty of Test Properties
To the Editor The systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by Roddy Mitchell et al provides new evidence on the epidemiology of perinatal depression (PD) in low- and middle-income countries. The pooled prevalence of PD in this study was 24.7%. However, rates were higher in studies that used self-report screening tools (25.3%) compared with diagnostic interviews (17.8%). More than 90% of the studies used a self-report screening instrument, predominantly the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), but none of them adjusted apparent prevalence estimates (the ones derived by applying thresholds of screening instrumen...
