| Abstract | Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most frequent malignancy of blood and information on disease burden of MM was limited in developing countries. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and incidence of MM in China. We used data from the national urban employee and urban resident basic medical insurance from 2012 to 2016 in China. MM cases were based on the primary diagnose (ICD code, ICD for Oncology, or text of diagnosis) of patients. The crude prevalence and incidence were 6.88 per 100 000 population (95% CI, 5.75 to 8.00) and 1.60 (1.28 to 1.92), respectively. The standardized prevalence and incidence were 5.68 (5.64 to 5.72) and 1.15 (1.11 to 1.19), respectively. Overall, the rates were higher in males compared with females for prevalence (6.77 versus 5.18, P<0.05) and incidence (1.41 versus 1.02, P<0.05). Both rates increased with age, and the mean age (SD) of MM patients were 57.9 (14.4) years. Prevalence peaked between 55 and 74 years old for both genders. The incidence in women aged 55-59 had significantly high incidence of 5.53(4.98 to 6.11). The prevalence and incidence were significantly lower than those in North America, Australia, and Western Europe, but were in the same range as those in Japan or Korea. MM should be one of the cancers in the spotlight from both medical and socioeconomic perspectives in low-resource but populous countries because of the appearing of more elderly MM patients in next decade. Further research is warranted to examine potential pathophysiologic mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
