Leukemia. 1987 Jan;1(1):78-81.
An analysis is presented of the distribution of cases of leukemia and allied disorders occurring in 151 administrative districts from England, Wales, and Scotland during 1984. The age-adjusted rates for certain conditions present an unusual pattern highlighting excessively high and low rates in parts of the country, some of which share contiguous boundaries. In particular, high rates for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are found in rural Yorkshire districts, whereas leukemias and primary polycythemias are much more common in the Midland districts.
本文对1984年英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰151个行政区发生的白血病及相关疾病病例分布进行了分析。某些疾病的年龄调整发病率呈现出一种不同寻常的模式，突出显示了该国部分地区过高和过低的发病率，其中一些地区边界相邻。特别是，在约克郡农村地区发现非霍奇金淋巴瘤的发病率较高，而白血病和原发性红细胞增多症在中部地区更为常见。
