Epidemiology, patterns of care and outcomes of traumatic brain injury in deployed military settings: Implications for future military operations

CONCLUSION While most TBI in the deployed setting are mild, TBI is frequently associated with hospitalization and multiple injuries. Overtriage of mild TBI is common. Improved TBI capabilities applicable to forward settings will be critical to the success of future multidomain operations with limitations in air superiority. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and Epidemiologic; Level III.
