Abstract

Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in US patients aged 1-44 [2] and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is involved in approximately one-third of all injury deaths [3, 4]. According to the CDC there are more than 1.7 million new TBI cases each year; an estimated 275,000 are hospitalized, and 52,000 die [4, 5]. The current global TBI rate of 106 per 100,000 is increasing as developing countries expand and increase the use of motorized transportation [4, 6]. While the rate of TBI is increasing, the number of TBI-related deaths has decreased in the US. In 2010, there were approximately 17.1 TBI-related deaths per 100,000 US population compared to 18.5 per 100,000 in 2001 [4]. TBI-related medical expenses place significant short- and long-term burden on the US economy. In 2010, direct and indirect TBI-related costs were $76.5 billion dollars up from $60 billion in 2000 [3, 7, 8]. These numbers indicate the burden that TBI places only on the civilian population ignoring the military population.
