Objective To systematically evaluate postpartum depression risk prediction models in order to provide references for the construction, application and optimization of related prediction models. Methods The CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, Web of Science and EMbase were electronically searched to collect studies on predictive model for the risk of postpartum from January 2013 to April 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies based on PROBAST tool. Results A total of 10 studies, each study with 1 optimal model were evaluated. Common predictors included prenatal depression, age, smoking history, thyroid hormones and other factors. The area under the curve of the model was greater than 0.7, and the overall applicability was general. Overall high risk of bias and average applicability, mainly due to insufficient number of events in the analysis domain for the response variable, improper handling of missing data, screening of predictors based on univariate analysis, lack of model performance assessment, and consideration of model overfitting. Conclusion The model is still in the development stage. The included model has good predictive performance and can help early identify people with high incidence of postpartum depression. However, the overall applicability of the model needs to be strengthened, a large sample, multi-center prospective clinical study should be carried out to construct the optimal risk prediction model of PPD, in order to identify and prevent PPD as soon as possible.
