Study Notes
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Incidence and Prevalence
- 2020: Approximately 214,110 TBI-related hospitalizations (about 586 per day)
- 2021: Approximately 69,473 TBI-related deaths (about 190 per day)
- Age 75+: 32% of hospitalizations and 28% of deaths.
- Males are at double risk for hospitalization and triple risk for death from TBI compared to females.
Leading Causes of TBI-Related Hospitalizations
- Unintentional falls are the leading cause of TBI-related hospitalizations.
- Being unintentionally struck by an object
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Assault
- Intentional self-harm
Sports-Related Concussions
- Approximately 300,000 sports-related concussions annually, most are mild.
- Female concussions outnumber males by a 2:1 ratio
Classifying TBI Severity
-
Mild TBI (mTBI)/Concussion:
- Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13-15
- Loss of consciousness (LOC) of 0-30 minutes or less
- Post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) is a state of confusion after a TBI.
- Measured by the Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT) and Orientation Log (O-log)
- Moderate TBI: Characterized by a GCS score of 9-12 and PTA longer lasting than mild TBI.
- Severe TBI: Characterized by a GCS of 3-8, LOC > 24 hours and PTA extending beyond 24 hours. - GCS scoring assesses eye-opening, verbal response and motor responses to stimuli
Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
- Assesses responsiveness to stimuli
- Scores range from 3 (deep coma) to 15 (normal)
- Used to assess the severity of brain injury
Physical Symptoms of TBI
- Mild TBI: Headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, light/noise sensitivity, vision problems, fatigue
- Moderate/Severe TBI: Can include all symptoms of mTBI,plus loss of consciousness exceeding 30 minutes, weakness, balance/coordination issues, altered sensory perception, and/or coma.
Cognitive Symptoms of TBI
- Mild TBI: Attention/concentration problems, memory issues.
- Moderate/Severe TBI: More pronounced cognitive impairments compared to mTBI.
Emotional/Social Symptoms of TBI
- Mild TBI: Anxiety, irritability, sadness/depression
- Moderate/Severe TBI: Includes symptoms of mild TBI and difficulty managing impulses and agitation.
