Objectives  To systematically review the relationship between indoor decoration and childhood leukemia in China. Methods  CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase and The Cochrane Library databases were electronically searched to obtain case-control studies of the relationships between indoor decoration and childhood leukemia from inception to December 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results  A total of 13 studies involving 1 727 cases and 2 468 controls were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that indoor decoration could increase the risk of childhood leukemia in China (OR=2.69, 95%CI 1.82 to 3.98, P<0.000 01). Conclusions  The current evidence suggests that indoor decoration is a risk factor for childhood leukemia in Chinese. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
