Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health problem in the United States.  Each year, traumatic brain injuries contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability.  Every year, at least 1.7 million TBIs occur either as an isolated injury or along with other injuries.

A TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. Not all blows or jolts to the head result in a TBI.  The severity of a TBI may range from “mild,” i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness to “severe,” i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury.  

The majority of TBIs that occur each year are concussions or other forms of mild TBI.

 

Leading Causes of TBI

 

The leading causes of TBI are:

  1. Falls (35.2%);
  2. Motor vehicle – traffic (17.3%);
  3. Struck by/against events (16.5%); and
  4. Assaults (10%).

Falls

Falls continued to be the leading cause of TBI (35.2%) in the United States. Falls cause half (50%) of the TBIs among children aged 0 to 14 years and 61% of all TBIs among adults aged 65 years and older.

Motor Vehicle - Traffic Crashes

Among all age groups, motor vehicle crashes and traffic-related incidents were the second leading cause of TBI (17.3%) and resulted in the largest percentage of TBI-related deaths (31.8%).
