Abstract: Objective To evaluate the cognitive function of postpartum women, and analyze the characteristics of cognitive dysfunction and the possible affecting factors. Methods The case group selected healthy single-born full-term primiparae (50 cases) and second birth parturient (30 cases), and the control group (30 cases) selected non-fertile women with general data matching. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test (MoCA) Beijing version and Birmingham Cognitive Screen test(BCoS) were used to evaluate cognitive function. Results Of the 80 cases in the case group, all completed the MoCA test, only 42 cases completed the BCoS test. The 30 cases in the control group all completed the MoCA and BcoS.The MoCA score of the case group (80 cases) was (26.26±2.28), which was lower than that of the control group (27.47±1.28) (P<0.05). The incidence of cognitive impairment in the case group was 30%, higher than the control group 6.7% (P<0.05). The MoCA score of the primiparae group was (26.52±2.13); the incidence of cognitive impairment was 26%; the MoCA score of the second birth parturient group was (25.83±2.49); the incidence of cognitive impairment was 36.7%.There was no significant difference in the MoCA score and the incidence of cognitive impairment between primiparae and second birth parturient (P> 0.05).The case group had lower scores on visual space and executive function of MoCA test than the control group (P<0.01).The score of BCoS test in the case group was lower than that in the control group in the five items of the instantaneous recall item of the story, apple deletion, auditory attention, Birmingham rule conversion and gesture imitation (P<0.05).The years of education, labor analgesia, and the total duration of labor were the factors that affected the cognitive function of postpartum women (P<0.05). Conclusion ①Postpartum women may have cognitive dysfunction, but there was no significant difference in the incidence of cognitive impairment between primiparae and second birth parturient group. ②The MoCA test can be used for the screening of cognitive impairment of postpartum women, and the BCoS test can be used as a tool to comprehensively evaluate the cognitive function of postpartum women. The cognitive impairment of postpartum women was mainly in the fields of visual space, attention, executive function (practice and action ability), and memory. ③The years of education, labor analgesia, and the total duration of labor were the factors that affect the cognitive function of postpartum women.
