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

105,670 new leukemia cases were estimated in China in 2021. This dataset analyzes trends for four major leukemia subtypes from 1990 to 2021 using Global Burden of Disease 2021 data, with projections to 2046. It was authored by Yudi Shangguan and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in incidence, deaths, and DALYs based on subtype and sex stratification.
• Project future incidence rates for leukemia subtypes based on Bayesian age-period-cohort modeling.
• Assess the contribution of risk factors like smoking and high BMI to leukemia burden.
• Compare age, period, and cohort effects across acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Strengths

• Covers a 32-year time span from 1990 to 2021 with projections to 2046.
• Analyzes four distinct leukemia subtypes with stratification by age and sex.
• Uses multiple analytical methods including Joinpoint regression and age-period-cohort modeling.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a 37.5 KB DOCX document, which suggests the dataset is small and likely contains summary statistics rather than raw case-level data.
