Perinatal depression (PND) is a critical public health issue affecting maternal and offspring health. Digital health intervention platforms, leveraging advantages in accessibility, privacy, and cost-effectiveness, demonstrate good application in PND prevention and treatment. This review systematically searched literature and policy documents published between January 2018 and March 2025 in CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science and World Health Organization. It summarized the development trajectory of digital health intervention platforms and their current applications and effectiveness in PND prevention and treatment. Existing evidence was evaluated across dimensions of efficacy, systematicity, and practicality, identifying major challenges faced by these platforms. Studies indicate that while PND digital health intervention platforms have achieved preliminary success in alleviating PND symptoms, widespread issues persist, including incomplete service closed-loop systems, low user adherence, and insufficient sustainability. Future efforts should focus on optimizing intervention content and interactive design, advancing intelligent assessment and tiered intervention strategies, strengthening continuous monitoring and crisis response mechanisms, and constructing a multidisciplinary collaborative support system. These steps are essential for achieving efficient, intelligent, and sustainable development of digital health intervention platforms for PND.

Objective:To analyze the survival and prognostic factors of male patients with breast cancer after mastectomy.Methods:Male patients with invasive breast ductal cancer who underwent mastectomy from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2018 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, and compared by log-rank test. Prognostic factors were identified by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.Results:A total of 1231 cases were included, with an onset age of (67 ± 12) years. The proportion of stage I-II was 81.1%. The 10-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates for stage IA, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC patients were 85.4%, 84.9%, 69.0%, 68.1%, 51.9%, and 48.3%, respectively (all P<0.001). For stage IA-IIB patients, the 10-year CSS rate was 79.2% in the postoperative radiotherapy group, compared to 83.0% in the non-radiotherapy group ( P=0.019). For stage IIIA-IIIC patients, the 10-year CSS rate was 61.7% in the postoperative radiotherapy group, compared to 52.9% in the non-radiotherapy group ( P=0.021). For stage IA-IIB patients, the 10-year CSS rate was 83.8% in the postoperative chemotherapy group, compared to 79.8% in the non-chemotherapy group ( P=0.342). For stage IIIA-IIIC patients, the 10-year CSS rate was 59.7% in the postoperative chemotherapy group, compared to 54.1% in the non-chemotherapy group ( P=0.052). Multivariate analysis showed that younger age, married and grade I-II differentiation were favorable prognostic factors. The earlier the tumor staging, the better the prognosis. Conclusions:Postoperative radiotherapy can improve the CSS of stage III male patients with breast cancer. Younger age, married, grade I-II differentiation are favorable prognostic factors. The earlier the tumor staging, the better the prognosis.
