A recent meta-analysis indicated possible spatiotemporal clustering, though the findings were hindered by data quality limitations. We investigated spatiotemporal clustering of childhood leukemia using advanced methods and complete residential histories. Methods We included patients aged 0–17 years diagnosed in 1990–2019, using data from the Finnish Cancer Registry. A 1:3 age- and sex-matched case-control design was employed and residential history data with exact coordinates was collected. Clustering was evaluated using the Cuzick-Edwards test, Knox test, Kulldorff's scan, and Jacquez's Q statistic. Results The dataset included 1,626 childhood leukemia cases (median age 5.0 years, 54% male). The Knox test revealed no evidence of clustering. However, the Cuzick-Edwards test revealed spatial clustering at diagnosis addresses for females (Observed/Expected [Obs/Exp] ratio 1.08, 95% CI 1.01–1.15) and for children under 1 year (Obs/Exp 1.35, 95% CI 1.15–1.57). Further analysis with Jacquez's Q using complete residential histories, identified significant spatiotemporal clustering in young children (ages 1.5–5.99 years) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, p = 0.037). We also tested for co-incidence between leukemia and type 1 diabetes but found no clustering. Conclusion Overall, we found limited evidence for clustering. In the subgroup analyses, significant spatiotemporal clustering in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases among children aged 1.5–5.99 years was observed, coinciding with the peak incidence in early childhood. Previous research has shown that this age group has distinct genetic characteristics and may possess a unique etiology. Acute leukemia Clustering Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes Epidemiology Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Background Acute leukemia is the most common malignancy in children, yet its etiology remains largely unknown. Several somatic changes are required for the development of leukemia, and according to a prevailing hypothesis, the first often occurs during fetal development. One or several factors triggering secondary mutations are needed, but their significance is still poorly understood. [ 1 ] These secondary mutations have been suggested to arise in connection with an abnormal immune reaction during childhood exposure to a delayed infection due to e.g. specific population mixing [ 2 – 4 ]. In addition to infections, other factors such as environmental or social factors could contribute to the disease etiology as well as well [ 5 ]. The first reports of epidemic-type clustering of leukemia were published in the 1960s [ 6 ]. Subsequent studies, and a recent meta-analysis, investigating the spatiotemporal clustering of childhood leukemia have produced mixed results, with some indicating moderate clustering. [ 7 , 8 ] Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease leading to destruction of the insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. Despite distinct pathogeneses, evidence suggesting similar environmental exposures in etiology of the two diseases has been reported. Notably, both diseases show higher incidence in developed countries, with one of the highest incidences of type 1 diabetes globally in Finland, at 56.8 per 100,000 person-years during 2000–2022 [ 9 ]. These parallels indicate potential shared environmental triggers [ 10 ]. Previous studies examining the co-clustering of these diseases have found correlated incidence patterns and similar large-scale distributions [ 11 – 13 ]. The aim of this study was to further investigate the spatiotemporal clustering of childhood acute leukemia and to investigate whether it shares spatiotemporal patterns with type 1 diabetes. Materials and Methods Data We identified childhood acute leukemia cases diagnosed in Finland from the Finnish Cancer Registry using International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 3rd Edition (ICD-O-3) codes M9800–M9948. Diabetes cases were identified from the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela) using special reimbursements for diabetes medication. Our inclusion criteria encompassed ages from 0 to 18 years and diagnosis between 1990 and 2019. For each leukemia case, three sex- and age- matched controls were randomly sampled from the Population Information System of Finland. The age matching criterion was the same birth year. Each control was assigned a reference date corresponding to the age of their respective case at the time of his/her diagnosis. The conclusion of the exposure period was defined as the diagnosis date for cases and the reference date for the controls. Residential histories from birth to the diagnosis or reference date for the study subjects were retrieved from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV). The data included the start and end dates of the residence periods, municipality, zip code, address and North and East coordinates in ETRS-TM35FIN. The residential histories were restricted to addresses between birth and the date of leukemia diagnosis or the reference date for controls, resulting in 14,223 residencies. The residential periods lacking start or end dates were removed. Among leukemia cases, 5.1% (n = 83) lacked coordinates for some of their residential periods, comparable to 5.9% (n = 286) of controls. Consequently, we excluded 439 instances of residential data: 308 periods abroad, 125 domestic periods not registered in the Population Information System, and 6 domestic periods registered in the Population Information but lacking documentation. This process yielded a dataset of 13,784 rows of residential data, with 3,426 rows allocated to 1,617 cases and 10,358 to 4,865 controls (Fig. 1 ). For 1,512 cases (93.0%) and 4,445 controls (91.1%), the residential history was complete with no missing data. Statistical analysis Statistical analyses were conducted using R (v. 4.0.5, R Core Team, 2021, Vienna), Spacestat (BioMedware Inc., Ann Arbor, MI, v. 4.0.21), and SaTScan (v. 10.1.2) [ 14 , 15 ]. All the analyses were performed in a secure remote environment provided by the Finnish Social and Health Data Permit Authority, Findata. The analyses were conducted using four distinct approaches: full residential histories, the addresses at the time of diagnosis, the addresses one year preceding the diagnosis or the addresses at birth. A significance threshold of p < 0.05 was applied to determine statistically significant clustering, while 0.05 < p < 0.1 was considered indicative of suggestive clustering. We used Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) method to correct for multiple testing [ 16 ]. Cuzick-Edwards’ test The Cuzick-Edwards’ test evaluates the number and proportion of cases within the k nearest neighbors (kNNs) and relies solely on spatial analysis, utilizing coordinates of both cases and controls [ 17 ]. In our study, we adapted this test also to address co-clustering of acute leukemia and diabetes, a method originally utilized in a Danish case-control study investigating co-clustering of the two diseases in Denmark [ 13 ]. Shortly, individuals with leukemia were considered as cases and type 1 diabetes cases served as controls. Rejecting the null hypothesis with a smaller test statistic than expected indicates leukemia cases exhibiting an excess of diabetes cases nearby. Additionally, we conducted the test also treating diabetes cases as cases and leukemia cases as their controls. Cuzick-Edwards’ test was performed using the ZceTk() function from the nnspat package (version 0.1.2). Knox test We utilized the Knox test to examine the spatiotemporal clustering patterns of cases with predefined thresholds: distance (0.25, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 km) and time (2, 6, 12, 18, 24 months) [ 18 ]. This test was implemented using the knox() function from the surveillance package (version 1.20.0) in the R programming environment, with 10,000 iterations for leukemia cases, adjusted according to dataset size and computational capacity. To assess the statistical significance of the observed clustering patterns, Monte Carlo permutation tests were employed to derive p-values. Kulldorff’s scan Kulldorff's spatial scan statistic, implemented using the SaTScan program, was utilized to investigate spatiotemporal clustering [ 19 , 20 ]. For each location, a series of circles with a given radius was constructed. These circles encompass neighboring study subjects falling within their boundaries. The parameters were configured to allow for a maximum spatial cluster size equivalent to 25% of the population at risk within ellipses with a radius of 10 km. Due to excessively long computing times, the case accrual was aggregated into three-month intervals. A Bernoulli probabilistic model, comparing cases and controls as binary variables, was utilized. To assess statistical significance, p-values were derived from Monte Carlo simulations, consisting of 999 replications. Jacquez’s Q statistic We employed Jacquez's Q statistic, utilizing the commercial Spacestat program, developed by BioMedware to analyze spatiotemporal clustering with full residential histories[ 21 ]. Fifteen nearest neighbors were analyzed (k = 15). This statistical approach incorporates both spatial and temporal dimensions, providing insights into the likelihood of individuals belonging to clusters at various times and locations. The statistic is recalculated each time a study subject moves, allowing for a dynamic understanding of clustering patterns over individual's study period from birth to diagnosis/reference date. To assess the statistical significance of the Q-statistics, we conducted Monte Carlo simulations with 599–999 iterations. Jacquez’s Q yields four main indicators: the global Q, Q i , Q t , and Q it . The global Q represents the average clustering across all individuals over time, while Q i evaluates clustering around individual cases or controls throughout their life course. Q t assesses global clustering at a specific time point, and Q it examines clustering around an individual at a given time. Particularly interesting are the Q it values whose cases have significant Q i values. This combination indicates specific locations and times where cases with significant lifetime clustering are part of geographically localized clusters. Subgroups The data were stratified by sex, age, and type of leukemia (acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia). Due to the low number of B-cell (n = 226) and T-cell (n = 70) ALL, we could not include those more specific subtypes for subgroup analyses. The age groups considered for the leukemia dataset were derived a priori from its incidence distribution: 0–0.99, 1–9.99 and 10–17.99. Additionally, for ALL cases, the incidence peak age group 1.5–5.99 years was further evaluated. The aforementioned statistical analyses were conducted independently for each subgroup. Additionally, the Knox test was performed for two distinct scenarios: cases with only a single residence prior to the diagnosis date and for varying time periods categorized by the diagnosis date 1990–1999, 2000–2009, 2010–2019). This approach allowed for a comprehensive exploration of spatial clustering patterns across different demographic and temporal strata. Results Study subjects and dataset In total, 1,762 leukemia cases were identified from the Finnish Cancer Registry. After excluding duplicates, we retained a cohort of 1,626 leukemia cases along with 4,877 controls. The median age at leukemia diagnosis was 4.97 years (IQR 2.85–10.33). The age distribution revealed an expected peak incidence of leukemia within the age range of 1.5 to 5.99 years old. Among the leukemia cases, a slight majority were male, constituting 53.9% (n = 876). As anticipated, ALL was the predominant type of leukemia, accounting for 83.0% (n = 1,350) of all leukemia cases, with a median age of 4.86 years (IQR 2.98–9.53) (Table 1 ). Table 1 Characteristics of the study subjects.

Leukemia clustering Leukemia clustering was assessed using various statistical methods. Initially, we applied the Cuzick-Edwards test, which detects solely spatial clustering by analyzing the proportion of cases among the k nearest neighbors for all instances. By examining the five nearest neighbors at different time points, diagnosis date, one year preceding diagnosis, and birth date, we observed signs of clustering among all leukemia cases based on their residential addresses at birth (Observed/Expected [Obs/Exp] ratio=1.05, 95% CI 1.00–1.10, p=0.045) (Table S1). In subgroup analyses, clustering was found among females at the time of diagnosis (Obs/E = 1.08, 95% CI 1.01–1.15, p=0.024), and among children aged under 1 year both at the diagnosis date (Obs/Exp=1.35, 95% CI 1.14-1.57, p=0.00098) and birth date (Obs/Exp=1.22, 95% CI 1.01-1.43, p=0.040) (Table S1). For evaluation of spatiotemporal clustering, we utilized the Knox test, which quantifies, using prespecified thresholds, whether two diagnoses being close in time increases the probability of being close also in distance. Overall, subsequent analyses considering different types of leukemia or various time periods did not yield statistically significant clustering patterns (Table S2 and Table S3). Kulldorff’s scan, which identifies clusters by scanning the study area with varying-sized windows to detect higher-than-expected case densities, found no significant clusters in the analysis of all study subjects. Likewise, the subgroup analyses revealed no significant clustering, as all potential clusters detected had a p-value greater than 0.1. The method that uses the entire residential histories of both leukemia cases and their controls, Jacquez’s Q statistic, identified significant clustering among the 15 nearest neighbors for the subgroup comprising ALL cases aged 1.5 to 5.99 years. The results for this common ALL age group indicated clustering around cases throughout their lifespan (Q i , n=60, p=0.008). Furthermore, significant Q it statistics (n=96, p=0.037) were observed, indicating clustering at specific time points within this subgroup. To illustrate the locations of these significant clusters, we plotted the study subjects' locations on a map of Finland, summarized from years 1990-2019 (Figure 2). The significant clusters were disproportionately located in southwestern Finland, within a 50km radius of the city of Turku, accounting for 24% (n=23) of the significant Q it values. In comparison, this region encompasses approximately 2.3% of Finland's total land area and contains 5.5% of the country's population. However, no significant temporal intervals were detected. The presence of significant Q it values that were also part of significant Q i clusters (n=74, p=0.011) underscored the statistical weight of these findings. Similar analyses for other subgroups yielded non-significant results. Co-clustering of leukemia and type I diabetes Given the potential links between childhood acute leukemia and type 1 diabetes, with shared environmental triggers and abnormal immune responses suggested by recent studies, we examined the spatiotemporal co-clustering of these diseases. To this end, we used a cohort of 16,307 cases diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and a dataset comprising 38,625 rows of residential data (Ventelä et al., manuscript in preparation). This analysis employed a modified version of the Cuzick-Edwards test, comparing 1,565 leukemia cases to 16,142 diabetes cases treated as controls. The co-clustering of the diseases was examined among the five nearest neighbors. The results suggested no evidence of co-clustering of the diseases (Table S4). We compiled summaries of the cluster analysis results by method and place of residence at three specific time points (Table 2). Table 2. Summary of cluster analysis results by method and place of residence. Discussion This study investigated the spatial and temporal clustering of childhood leukemia and its potential co-occurrence with type 1 diabetes in Finland. We employed a combination of established methods to analyze residential histories spanning birth to diagnosis (or reference date for controls). Overall, considering leukemia independently and in parallel with type 1 diabetes, we found limited evidence for clustering. In the subgroup analyses, our findings revealed significantly elevated spatiotemporal clustering for ALL in young children (1.5-5.99 years), coinciding with the peak incidence age in this cohort. This aligns with the known age distribution of ALL subtypes, particularly ETV6-RUNX1 and high hyperdiploidy, which are commonly prevalent in early childhood ALL [22]. A prior Swiss study investigating childhood leukemia clustering and potential clinical characteristics associated with it, reported a higher prevalence of the ETV6-RUNX1 gene translocation among leukemia cases born in close spatial and temporal proximity [23]. Employing the Cuzick-Edwards method, we identified statistically significant spatial clustering for female leukemia cases at diagnosis and for cases diagnosed under one year old. Investigating residential addresses at birth for the entire study population yielded borderline results (Obs/Exp = 1.05, 95% CI 1.00–1.10, p=0.045). Notably, the results based on the other spatial analysis methods lacked concordance with these findings, suggesting a low overall weight of evidence. A previous pooled analysis using the Knox test, summarizing prior research on leukemia clustering in individuals under 15 years old, also indicated borderline results (Obs/Exp=1.01, p=0.054). However, this analysis demonstrated statistically significant clustering specifically within the youngest age group, under 5 years old [7]. This finding aligns with our result of significant clustering among the ALL subgroup of young children aged 1.5-5.99 years which was located disproportionately in southwestern Finland. Our analysis using the Cuzick-Edwards test did not yield significant evidence for co-clustering of type 1 diabetes and acute childhood leukemia. Only a few studies have explored the co-clustering of childhood acute leukemia and type 1 diabetes. The first suggestion of shared spatiotemporal clustering of the diseases emerged in the early 2000s when a UK study observed a positive spatial correlation between the diseases and a further extension of the study considering the temporal variation supported it: a positive correlation of at least 0.7 between diseases was observed across all time periods (from 1978 to 2003) [11, 12]. Also, a previous Danish case-control study identified co-clustering with the Cuzick-Edwards method for the ALL age group of 2–6 years old with type 1 diabetes, at both the place of diagnosis and when considering residential mobility [13]. This study leverages high-quality data from well-established Finnish registries, encompassing a large population of roughly 1,1 million children over three decades with full residential histories. A key strength lies in employing a diverse array of analytical methods and conducting comprehensive data analysis looking at all timepoints of interest. To analyze clustering with full residential histories, we utilized the Jacquez's Q statistics, thereby providing a more nuanced understanding of potential spatiotemporal clustering compared to methods focused on a single time point. The study has several limitations. The clustering analysis methods depend on user-defined thresholds, which may influence the sensitivity in detecting subtle clustering patterns. Conversely, the potentially low specificity of the models could lead to false positive results. Another significant constraint of the analyses was the limited computational power, as multicore processing was not possible with the software available. Additionally, the dataset size, while adequate for this study, is relatively small on a global scale. Our findings indicate spatiotemporal clustering of ALL among young children, which is especially interesting as this subgroup has been hypothesized to have a distinct etiology. Subsequent studies could delve deeper into these identified clusters to identify common factors especially near the Turku area. The evidence for co-clustering of leukemia and type 1 diabetes remains inconclusive. Future investigations should aim to validate our finding on the clustering of ALL in its incidence peak, stratify these analyses by specific ALL subtypes and to look for explanations for these clusters.

leukemia is the most common malignancy in children, yet its etiology remains largely unknown. Several somatic changes are required for the development of leukemia, and according to a prevailing hypothesis, the first often occurs during fetal development.

[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e] These secondary mutations have been suggested to arise in connection with an abnormal immune reaction during childhood exposure to a delayed infection due to e.g. specific population mixing [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR3\" citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e].

The age matching criterion was the same birth year. Each control was assigned a reference date corresponding to the age of their respective case at the time of his/her diagnosis. The conclusion of the exposure period was defined as the diagnosis date for cases and the reference date for the controls. Residential histories from birth to the diagnosis or reference date for the study subjects were retrieved from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV).

difference between leukemia cases and controls regarding the number of residencies before the reference date (mean for leukemia cases 2.12, and mean for controls 2.13; p=0.618, Wilcoxon rank sum test).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeukemia clustering\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeukemia clustering was assessed using various statistical methods. Initially, we applied the Cuzick-Edwards test, which detects solely spatial clustering by analyzing the proportion of cases among the k nearest neighbors for all instances. By examining the five nearest neighbors at different time points, diagnosis date, one year preceding diagnosis, and birth date, we observed signs of clustering among all leukemia cases based on their residential addresses at birth (Observed/Expected [Obs/Exp] ratio=1.05, 95% CI 1.00–1.10, p=0.045) (Table S1). In subgroup analyses, clustering was found among females at the time of diagnosis (Obs/E = 1.08, 95% CI 1.01–1.15, p=0.024), and among children aged under 1 year both at the diagnosis date (Obs/Exp=1.35, 95% CI 1.14-1.57, p=0.00098) and birth date (Obs/Exp=1.22, 95% CI 1.01-1.43, p=0.040) (Table S1).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor evaluation of spatiotemporal clustering, we utilized the Knox test, which quantifies, using prespecified thresholds, whether two diagnoses being close in time increases the probability of being close also in distance. Overall, subsequent analyses considering different types of leukemia or various time periods did not yield statistically significant clustering patterns (Table S2 and Table S3).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKulldorff’s scan, which identifies clusters by scanning the study area with varying-sized windows to detect higher-than-expected case densities, found no significant clusters in the analysis of all study subjects. Likewise, the subgroup analyses revealed no significant clustering, as all potential clusters detected had a p-value greater than 0.1.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe method that uses the entire residential histories of both leukemia cases and their controls, Jacquez’s Q statistic, identified significant clustering among the 15 nearest neighbors for the subgroup comprising ALL cases aged 1.5 to 5.99 years. The results for this common ALL age group indicated clustering around cases throughout their lifespan (Q\u003csub\u003ei\u003c/sub\u003e, n=60, p=0.008). Furthermore, significant Q\u003csub\u003eit\u0026nbsp;\u003c/sub\u003estatistics (n=96, p=0.037) were observed, indicating clustering at specific time points within this subgroup. To illustrate the locations of these significant clusters, we plotted the study subjects' locations on a map of Finland, summarized from years 1990-2019 (Figure 2). The significant clusters were disproportionately located in southwestern Finland, within a 50km radius of the city of Turku, accounting for 24% (n=23) of the significant Q\u003csub\u003eit\u003c/sub\u003e values. In comparison, this region encompasses approximately 2.3% of Finland's total land area and contains 5.5% of the country's population. However, no significant temporal intervals were detected. The presence of significant Q\u003csub\u003eit\u0026nbsp;\u003c/sub\u003evalues that were also part of significant Q\u003csub\u003ei\u003c/sub\u003e clusters (n=74, p=0.011) underscored the statistical weight of these findings. Similar analyses for other subgroups yielded non-significant results.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCo-clustering of leukemia and type I diabetes\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the potential links between childhood acute leukemia and type 1 diabetes, with shared environmental triggers and abnormal immune responses suggested by recent studies, we examined the spatiotemporal co-clustering of these diseases. To this end, we used a cohort of 16,307 cases diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and a dataset comprising 38,625 rows of residential data (Ventelä et al., manuscript in preparation). This analysis employed a modified version of the Cuzick-Edwards test, comparing 1,565 leukemia cases to 16,142 diabetes cases treated as controls. The co-clustering of the diseases was examined among the five nearest neighbors. The results suggested no evidence of co-clustering of the diseases (Table S4).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe compiled summaries of the cluster analysis results by method and place of residence at

study investigated the spatial and temporal clustering of childhood leukemia and its potential co-occurrence with type 1 diabetes in Finland. We employed a combination of established methods to analyze residential histories spanning birth to diagnosis (or reference date for controls). Overall, considering leukemia independently and in parallel with type 1 diabetes, we found limited evidence for clustering. In the subgroup analyses, our findings revealed significantly elevated spatiotemporal clustering for ALL in young children (1.5-5.99 years), coinciding with the peak incidence age in this cohort. This aligns with the known age distribution of ALL subtypes, particularly ETV6-RUNX1 and high hyperdiploidy, which are commonly prevalent in early childhood ALL [22]. A prior Swiss study investigating childhood leukemia clustering and potential clinical characteristics associated with it, reported a higher prevalence of the ETV6-RUNX1 gene translocation among leukemia cases born in close spatial and temporal proximity [23].\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmploying the Cuzick-Edwards method, we identified statistically significant spatial clustering for female leukemia cases at diagnosis and for cases diagnosed under one year old. Investigating residential addresses at birth for the entire study population yielded borderline results (Obs/Exp = 1.05, 95% CI 1.00\u0026ndash;1.10, p=0.045). Notably, the results based on the other spatial analysis methods lacked concordance with these findings, suggesting a low overall weight of evidence. A previous pooled analysis using the Knox test, summarizing prior research on leukemia clustering in individuals under 15 years old, also indicated borderline results (Obs/Exp=1.01, p=0.054). However, this analysis demonstrated statistically significant clustering specifically within the youngest age group, under 5 years old [7]. This finding aligns with our result of significant clustering among the ALL subgroup of young children aged 1.5-5.99 years which was located disproportionately in southwestern Finland.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur analysis using the Cuzick-Edwards test did not yield significant evidence for co-clustering of type 1 diabetes and acute childhood leukemia. Only a few studies have explored the co-clustering of childhood acute leukemia and type 1 diabetes. The first suggestion of shared spatiotemporal clustering of the diseases emerged in the early 2000s when a UK study observed a positive spatial correlation between the diseases and a further extension of the study considering the temporal variation supported it: a positive correlation of at least 0.7 between diseases was observed across all time periods (from 1978 to 2003) [11, 12]. Also, a previous Danish case-control study identified co-clustering with the Cuzick-Edwards method for the ALL age group of 2\u0026ndash;6 years old with type 1 diabetes, at both the place of diagnosis and when considering residential mobility [13].\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis study leverages high-quality data from well-established Finnish registries, encompassing a large population of roughly 1,1 million children over three decades with full residential histories. A key strength lies in employing a diverse array of analytical methods and conducting comprehensive data analysis looking at all timepoints of interest. To analyze clustering with full residential histories, we utilized the Jacquez\u0026apos;s Q statistics, thereby providing a more nuanced understanding of potential spatiotemporal clustering compared to methods focused on a single time point.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study has several limitations. The clustering analysis methods depend on user-defined thresholds, which may influence the sensitivity in detecting subtle clustering patterns. Conversely, the potentially low specificity of the models could lead to false positive results. Another significant constraint of the analyses was the limited computational power, as multicore processing was not possible with the software available. Additionally, the dataset size, while adequate for this study, is relatively small on a global scale.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur findings indicate spatiotemporal clustering of ALL among young children, which is especially interesting as this subgroup has been hypothesized to have a distinct etiology. Subsequent studies could delve deeper into these identified clusters to identify common factors especially near the Turku area. The evidence for co-clustering of leukemia and type 1 diabetes remains inconclusive. Future investigations should aim to validate our finding on the clustering of ALL in its incidence peak, stratify these analyses by specific ALL subtypes and to look for explanations for these clusters.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunding\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work was supported by Väre Foundation for Pediatric Research and Competitive State Research Funding.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompeting interests\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors have no competing interests to disclose.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor contributions\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll authors contributed to the study conception and design.

A recent meta-analysis indicated possible spatiotemporal clustering, though the findings were hindered by data quality limitations. We investigated spatiotemporal clustering of childhood leukemia using advanced methods and complete residential histories.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethods\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe included patients aged 0\u0026ndash;17 years diagnosed in 1990\u0026ndash;2019, using data from the Finnish Cancer Registry. A 1:3 age- and sex-matched case-control design was employed and residential history data with exact coordinates was collected. Clustering was evaluated using the Cuzick-Edwards test, Knox test, Kulldorff's scan, and Jacquez's Q statistic.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe dataset included 1,626 childhood leukemia cases (median age 5.0 years, 54% male). The Knox test revealed no evidence of clustering. However, the Cuzick-Edwards test revealed spatial clustering at diagnosis addresses for females (Observed/Expected [Obs/Exp] ratio 1.08, 95% CI 1.01\u0026ndash;1.15) and for children under 1 year (Obs/Exp 1.35, 95% CI 1.15\u0026ndash;1.57). Further analysis with Jacquez's Q using complete residential histories, identified significant spatiotemporal clustering in young children (ages 1.5\u0026ndash;5.99 years) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.037). We also tested for co-incidence between leukemia and type 1 diabetes but found no clustering.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusion\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOverall, we found limited evidence for clustering. In the subgroup analyses, significant spatiotemporal clustering in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases among children aged 1.5\u0026ndash;5.99 years was observed, coinciding with the peak incidence in early childhood.
