摘要：

A basic description of severity and frequency is needed for planning healthcare delivery for any disease process. In the case of trumatic brain injury, severity is typically categorized into mild, moderate, and severe with information from a combination of clinical observation and self-report methodologies. Recent US civilian epidemiological findings measuring the frequency of mortality and morbidity of traumatic brain injury are presented, including demographic and etiological breakdowns of the data. Falls, motor vehicle accidents, and being struck by objects are the major etiologies of traumatic brain injury. US civilian and Army hospitalization trends are discussed and compared. Features of traumatic brain injuries form Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom are discussed. Mt Sinai J Med 76:105-110, 2009 (C) 2009 Mount Sinai School of Medicine
