TL;DR: Rates of TBI-related hospitalization have declined nearly 50% since 1980, a phenomenon that may be attributed, in part, to successes in injury prevention and also to changes in hospital admission practices that shift the care of persons with less severe TBI from inpatient to outpatient settings.

TL;DR: The 1991 National Health Interview Survey was analysed to describe the incidence of mild and moderate brain injury in the United States and found the risk of medically attended brain injury was highest among three subgroups: teens and young adults, males, and persons with low income who lived alone.

TL;DR: Examination of population-based data from the National Health Interview Survey, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and state-based traumatic brain injury surveillance programs that provide estimates of the overall incidence of sports-related TBI in the United States suggests ways to improve data in order to develop more effective injury prevention strategies.

TL;DR: A systematic review and search for NTD prevalence estimates and abstracted data from peer-reviewed literature, birth defects surveillance registries, and reports published between January 1990 and July 2014 highlighted the need for greater NTD surveillance efforts, especially in lower-income countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report updated national trends in traumatic brain injury deaths from 1979 through 1992, reporting that the brain injury-associated death rate declined 22% from 24.6 per 100 000 US residents in 1979 to 19.3 per 100,000 US residents by 1992.
