Thyroid Cancer Incidence Rate Joinpoint Regression Results in China 2005-2018

A collection of the results of a joinpoint regression analysis on thyroid cancer incidence rates in China from 2005 to 2018. The analysis identifies significant changes in incidence trends over the 14-year period. The data is provided in an XLS file with a size of 5.5 KB.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in thyroid cancer incidence rate over the 2005-2018 period using joinpoint regression results.
• Identify significant joinpoints where the annual percent change in incidence rate shifted.
• Compare the average annual percent change (AAPC) across different segments of the 14-year time series.

Strengths

• Provides a 14-year time series (2005-2018) for analyzing long-term trends.
• Results are derived from joinpoint regression, a standard method for trend analysis in epidemiology.
• Data is openly available under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely summary-level results only.
• Underlying raw incidence data or population denominators are not included, preventing recalculation or deeper analysis.
• The specific metrics, column names, and row count within the XLS file are unknown from the provided description.
