Statistics by Country for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Incidence (annual) of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury:

Estimated 1.4 million MTBI injuries per year in the USA (CDC)

Incidence Rate for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: approx 1 in 194 or 0.51% or 1.4 million people in USA [about data] Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury to Countries and Regions: WARNING! EXTRAPOLATION ONLY. NOT BASED ON COUNTRY-SPECIFIC DATA SOURCES. The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury are only estimates and may have very limited relevance to the actual incidence of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury:

WARNING! EXTRAPOLATED STATISTICS ONLY! Not based on data sources from individual countries. These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates against the populations of a particular country or region. The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian prevalence or incidence statistics, which are then extrapolated using only the population of the other country. This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Mild Traumatic Brain Injury statistics below refer to. The extrapolation does not use data sources or statistics about any country other than its population. As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication) as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in that region. These statistics are presented only in the hope that they may be interesting to some people.

About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury:

The word 'prevalence' of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Mild Traumatic Brain Injury at any given time (i.e. people with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury). The term 'incidence' of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Mild Traumatic Brain Injury). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
