Childhood cancer burden and health inequality: A systematic analysis from the global burden of diseases study 2021
Fig 2
Childhood Cancers Ranked by Number of DALYs for Both Sexes Combined, 2021.
Inter-category ranking refers to vertical ranking across categories, including SDI quintiles (ordered from high to low) and the 21 GBD regions (ordered alphabetically). Intra-category ranking refers to horizontal ranking within categories, specifically within each SDI quintile and GBD region. Colour intensity is proportional to the absolute number of DALYs within each ranking category (columns or rows). Numerical rankings represent the total absolute DALYs, where rank 1 indicates the highest burden. SDI = Sociodemographic Index. DALY = disability-adjusted life-year. GBD = Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study.
