Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease study highlights the trends in death and disability-adjusted life years of leukemia from 1990 to 2017.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The patterns of leukemia burden have dramatically changed in recent years. This study aimed to estimate the global trends of leukemia-related death and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2017.

Methods

The data was acquired from the latest version of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to estimate the trend of age-standardized rate (ASR) of death and DALYs due to leukemia and its main subtypes from 1990 to 2017.

Results

Globally, the numbers of death and DALYs due to leukemia were 347.58 × 10³ (95% uncertainty interval [UI] = 317.26 × 10³ -364.88 × 10³ ) and 11975.35 × 10³ (95% UI = 10749.15 × 10³ -12793.58 × 10³
