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

105,670 new leukemia cases were estimated in China in 2021. This dataset contains long-term epidemiological trends for four major leukemia subtypes from 1990 to 2021, derived from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 database. It was authored by Yudi Shangguan and uploaded to figshare in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in leukemia incidence and mortality based on Joinpoint regression results.
• Model age, period, and cohort effects on leukemia subtypes based on Age-Period-Cohort analysis.
• Project future incidence rates for leukemia subtypes up to 2046 based on Bayesian APC modeling.
• Assess the contribution of risk factors like smoking and high BMI to disease burden based on attributable DALYs.

Strengths

• Data spans 31 years from 1990 to 2021, providing a long-term view.
• Analysis is stratified by age and sex for four distinct leukemia subtypes.
• Projections extend 25 years beyond the data period to 2046.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 14.6 KB, suggesting it contains summary statistics or a document rather than raw case-level data.
