Prediction models for postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder acts as an invisible scar, eroding maternal mental health and exerting long-term effects on infant development. Existing screening methods have limitations, hindering early prevention. Predictive models offer a promising approach for early identification of postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder. This study aims to establish a current evidence baseline and outline future directions through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
