Long-term Trends in Leukemia Subtype Burden in China, 1990-2021

105,670 new leukemia cases were estimated in China in 2021. This dataset, authored by Yudi Shangguan and published on figshare in 2026, analyzes trends for four leukemia subtypes from 1990 to 2021 using Global Burden of Disease data. It includes projections for incidence rates up to 2046.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term incidence trends for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) based on the described time-series analysis.
• Project future leukemia subtype incidence rates up to 2046 based on the Bayesian APC modeling mentioned.
• Assess the contribution of risk factors like smoking and high body-mass index to disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for leukemia subtypes.
• Compare age, period, and cohort effects on leukemia incidence across different subtypes based on the age-period-cohort analysis.

Strengths

• Covers a 31-year time span from 1990 to 2021.
• Analyzes four distinct leukemia subtypes (AML, CML, ALL, CLL) with stratification by age and sex.
• Includes future projections for incidence rates up to 2046.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (14.4 KB), suggesting it likely contains summary statistics rather than raw case-level data.
