Core Tip This study investigated key factors influencing postpartum depression (PPD) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and developed a risk prediction model. PPD in GDM results from metabolic, obstetric, and psychosocial factors. Independent risk factors included elevated 2-hour postprandial glucose, suboptimal glycemic control, mother-infant separation, low family care, and low perceived social support. A predictive model based on these five factors demonstrated good discrimination and calibration, offering quantitative early screening and stratified management. Findings underscore the importance of integrated biopsychosocial interventions in perinatal care. Future multicenter studies should externally validate the model and incorporate additional biomarkers and psychological measures.
