Background  The patterns of leukemia burden have dramatically changed in recent years. This study aimed to estimate the global trends of leukemia‐related death and disability‐adjusted life‐years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2017.    Methods  The data was acquired from the latest version of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to estimate the trend of age‐standardized rate (ASR) of death and DALYs due to leukemia and its main subtypes from 1990 to 2017.    Results  Globally, the numbers of death and DALYs due to leukemia were 347.58 × 10 3  (95% uncertainty interval [UI] = 317.26 × 10 3 ‐364.88 × 10 3 ) and 11975.35 × 10 3  (95% UI = 10749.15 × 10 3 ‐12793.58 × 10 3 ) in 2017, with a 31.22% and 0.03% increase in absolute numbers from 1990 to 2017, respectively. Both of their ASR showed decreasing trends from 1990 to 2017 with the EAPCs being −1.04 (95% confidence interval [CI] = (−1.10‐−0.99) and −1.52 (95% CI = −1.59‐−1.44), respectively. Globally, the most pronounced decreasing trend of death and DALYs occurred in chronic myeloid leukemia with EAPCs of −2.76 (95% CI = −2.88‐−2.64) and −2.84 (95% CI = −2.97‐−2.70), respectively, while the trend increased in acute myeloid leukemia. The death and DALYs of leukemia decreased in most areas and countries with high socio‐demographic index (SDI) including Bahrain, Finland, and Australia.    Conclusions  The disease burden of death and DALYs due to leukemia decreased globally, and for most regions and countries from 1990 to 2017. However, the leukemia burden is still a substantial challenge globally and required adequate and affordable medical resources to improve the survival and quality of life of leukemia patients.
