ABSTRACT
With the development of society and the transition of travel ways,traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by external causes such as traffic crashes,falls,sports,recreation,etc.has become more and more common.TBI has become a serious public health problem worldwide.Understanding the epidemiology,causes,and trends of TBI is critical for prevention and rehabilitation.Unfortunately,most of the available epidemiological studies on TBI were conducted among outpatients and/or inpatients at local hospitals,and national surveys with high-quality or surveillance data are scarce in China.Thus,there is no comprehensive understanding of TBI.In order to provide the basis for future investigation and improve the effects of TBI prevention and rehabilitation,we reviewed literature on TBI published in recent 10 years and discussed the development of epidemiological studies on TBI in definition,classification,external cause,epidemiology,and health-related impacts.
