Global, regional, and national epidemiology of childhood Burkitt Lymphoma from 1990 to 2021: statistical analysis of incidence, mortality, and DALYs

Between 1990 and 2021, there was a notable rise in the incidence of childhood Burkitt Lymphoma, with a pronounced increase observed in Sub-Saharan Africa. The age group of 5-9 years exhibited the highest incidence and mortality rates, underscoring the critical need for early diagnosis and intervention. Although regions with high Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) have demonstrated advancements in reducing mortality rates, areas with low SDI necessitate improved medical resources and the implementation of standardized treatment protocols. The escalating incidence in specific regions underscores the urgent need for comprehensive research into the disease's etiology and the development of enhanced prevention strategies.
