title: [Time tendency and its cohort study of leukemia mortality of residents in Urumqi].
abstract: To explore the distribution of leukemia mortality and its relationship with age of residents who live in city Urumqi, data of leukemia mortality of Urumqi residents from 1985 years to 2000 years was analysed. On the basis of multiple cross-sectional analysis,a cohort study was applied to further analysis. The results showed that the total mortality and male's mortality of leukemia in Urumqi residents were almost the same as that of national level, while the female's mortality of leukemia was lower than that of national level. The cohort study showed that mortality of adolescent with leukemia descended with the increase of age, but mortality of gerontic leukemia ascended with the increase of age. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between the morbific age of leukemia and prognosis of patients with leukemia.
