We systematically reviewed the existing literature on models for predicting longitudinal depression and/or anxiety trajectories. METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase and APA PsycINFO were searched (from inception to 31-Jan-2025). We included population-based studies of children and adults (aged 3-65 years). Risk of bias was assessed using the Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool (PROBAST-AI) tool. RESULTS: Seven of the nine included studies were in adult populations with a diagnosis of depression or anxiety at baseline; two focused on child and adolescent populations. Only one study included anxiety trajectories. Identified trajectories typically comprised three to four groups including: chronic/persistent-high, stable-low, increasing/worsening, and improved/remitted groups. Various supervised predictive modelling methods were used. The number of final predictors included in models ranged from three to 152. Family and own/personal psychiatric history were the most common predictors but were not always important for model performance. Models including more predictors did not always perform better. Overall risk of bias was high in all studies. No studies were externally validated and no studies assessed the clinical utility of models. CONCLUSION: This review highlights a need for robust, validated models that can forecast future risk of persistent or worsening anxiety and depression, especially in young people where early intervention is possible.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":1.3862943611198906,"endowment":1.3862943611198906,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"41621444","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7126157056","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"UK Research and Innovation Medical Research Council","grant_id":"MC_UU_00032/6","title":"Immunopsychiatry: Investigating the role of inflammation in depression and other psychiatric disorders"},{"funder_name":"Wellcome Trust","grant_id":"MR/S037675/1","title":null},{"funder_name":"Wellcome Trust","grant_id":"201486/Z/16/Z","title":null},{"funder_name":"Wellcome Trust","grant_id":"MR/W014416/1","title":null},{"funder_name":"Wellcome Trust","grant_id":"201486/B/16/Z","title":null},{"funder_name":"Wellcome Trust","grant_id":"MR/Z50354X/1","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Institute for Health and Care Research","grant_id":"","title":null},{"funder_name":"University of Bristol","grant_id":"","title":null},{"funder_name":"NIHR Bristol Biomedical Research Centre","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":9,"fwci":14.3611,"citation_percentile":0.98451863,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2026,"count":3}],"oa_status":"hybrid","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2026.121255","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2026.121255","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0165032726001060?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0165032726001060?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41621444","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.09.25337650","host_type":""},{"url":"https://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/id/eprint/237228/","host_type":""}],"fields_of_study":["Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development","Anxiety, Depression, Psychometrics, Treatment, Cognitive Processes","Digital Mental Health Interventions","03 medical and health sciences","0302 clinical medicine","Humans","Anxiety Disorders","Prediction Algorithms","Adolescent","Child","Anxiety","Longitudinal Studies","Adult","Depression","Depressive Disorder","Predictive Learning Models","Child, Preschool"],"mesh_terms":["Predictive Learning Models","Prediction Algorithms","Adolescent","Adult","Anxiety","Anxiety Disorders","Child","Child, Preschool","Depression","Depressive Disorder","Humans","Longitudinal Studies","Middle Aged","Models, Statistical","Young Adult"],"keywords":["Depression (economics)","Anxiety","Predictive modelling","Intervention (counseling)","Longitudinal data","Depressive symptoms","Depression","Prediction model","Systematic review","Risk Prediction","Longitudinal Trajectories","Probast"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-11T06:05:46.630791Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
