• Description:
  This chapter provides an overview of the global burden of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Information about the incidence, demographics, prevalence of a history of TBI and other long-term outcomes is presented for the USA and selected other countries. This chapter concludes by highlighting the epidemiology of repetitive brain trauma from mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) or concussions in both sports and the military because of the current concern that they might lead to neurodegenerative conditions such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
