Tracking the Impact of Traumatic Brain Injuries
An estimated 1.7 million deaths, hospitalizations, and emergency department visits related to traumatic brain injury (TBI) occur in the United States each year, according to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The report, “Traumatic Brain Injury in the United States: Emergency Department Visits, Hospitalizations, and Death,” is based on data from 2002-2006 and identifies the leading causes of TBI and incidence by age, race, and gender.
