Breast Cancer Mortality Trends and Years of Life Lost in China, 2013-2021

Analysis of breast cancer mortality trends among Chinese residents from 2013 to 2021, showing a stabilized national rate but significant regional disparities. The study quantifies premature death burden using Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL), Average Years of Life Lost (AYLL), and Value of Years of Life Lost (VYLL). Data were compiled by Fulei Han from the Chinese Cause of Death Monitoring Dataset and published in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal mortality trends based on Annual Percentage Change (APC) and Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) statistics
• Comparing urban versus rural health disparities based on region-specific mortality trends mentioned in the results
• Evaluating the economic impact of premature mortality based on the Value of Years of Life Lost (VYLL) metric
• Assessing age-specific risk patterns based on reported mortality changes in cohorts like 40-44 and 65-74 year olds

Strengths

• Covers a 9-year time span from 2013 to 2021
• Includes multiple burden-of-disease metrics: PYLL, AYLL, and VYLL
• Provides statistically significant trends with 95% confidence intervals for different regions and age groups

Limitations

• Dataset is a 304.6 KB PDF; underlying tabular data is not directly accessible
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the paper
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
