Description:Objective:
To provide state-level traumatic brain injury (TBI)- related emergency department (ED) visit, hospitalization, and death estimates for 2014.
Setting and Participants:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program and State Injury Indicators participating states.
Design:
Cross-sectional.
Main Measures:
Number and incidence rates of TBI-related ED visits, hospitalizations, and deaths in more than 30 states.
Results:
The rates of TBI-related ED visits in 2014 ranged from 381.1 per 100 000 (South Dakota) to 998.4 per 100 000 (Massachusetts). In 2014, Pennsylvania had the highest TBI-related hospitalization rate (98.9) and Ohio had the lowest (55.1). In 2014, the TBI-related death rate ranged from 9.1 per 100 000 (New Jersey) to 23.0 per 100 000 (Oklahoma).
Conclusion:
The variations in TBI burden among states support the need for tailoring prevention efforts to state needs. Results of this analysis can serve as a baseline for these efforts.
