Description
The GBD 2016 Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury Collaborators published this analysis in 2018. Brain and spinal injuries are rising health priorities worldwide. Most are preventable, yet the care they need is complex and costly.
The team measured new cases, people living with injury, and years lived with disability across most countries. Falls cause the largest share of brain injuries, while road crashes lead for spinal injuries in many regions. Totals grew as populations aged. The figures make a case for fall prevention, safer roads, and better trauma systems in poorer countries.
