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 results from an analysis of four major leukemia subtypes—acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)—from 1990 to 2021, using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 study. It was authored by Yudi Shangguan and uploaded to figshare in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term incidence trends for leukemia subtypes based on age-standardized rates.
• Project future incidence rates for leukemia subtypes based on Bayesian age-period-cohort modeling.
• Compare the burden of leukemia subtypes based on metrics like incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
• Investigate risk factor contributions to leukemia burden based on attributable DALYs for smoking and high body-mass index.

Strengths

• Covers a 32-year time span from 1990 to 2021.
• Analyzes four distinct leukemia subtypes with separate trend assessments.
• Includes projections for future incidence rates up to 2046.
• Stratifies data by age and sex.

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 small (18.5 KB), suggesting it contains summary statistics rather than raw case-level data.
