Traumatic brain injury (TBI), United States, injuryAbstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the leading causes of trauma-related mortality and morbidity in the United States. An estimated 2.5 million TBI occur annually resulting in 282,000 hospitalization and 50,000 deaths with an estimated economic burden of $141 billion. While TBI accounts for 30% of all injury related deaths, survivors face physical and cognitive disabilities together with an increasing risk for neurodegenerative diseases and lasting effects on the individual, the family and the community.
