Global TBI study finds outcome gaps don’t track cleanly with development levels
Key Takeaways
- A 29-country study tracked 2,165 traumatic brain injury patients across 100 hospitals.
- Traffic injuries dominated low-HDI settings, while falls dominated very-high-HDI settings.
- Adjusted mortality was highest in the high-HDI tier relative to the very-high-HDI tier.
- Researchers argue that prevention and prehospital care may reduce TBI burden more effectively than hospital measures alone.
