Description
Lene Odgaard and six co-authors estimate lifetime risk of acquired brain injury in Denmark in a 2026 paper. Counts of single injury types exist, but the chance that a person will face any such injury across a life was not well known. The team follow the whole Danish population in national registers over a ten year span.
They find that about one in three people will face an acquired brain injury in a lifetime, with stroke the largest share. About one in four patients needed rehabilitation in the year after injury, a share that was highest after stroke and in older patients. The authors stress the large public health burden and the varied needs by cause and age.
