The epidemiology of moderate and severe traumatic brain injury in Central Norway

Conclusion: The overall incidence and mortality rate for msTBI in Central Norway was low but increased from age 70, and among those ≥80 years of age with severe TBI, nearly all died. Overall estimates are strongly influenced by high incidence and mortality rates in the e lderly, and studies should therefore report age-specific estimates, for better comparison of incidence and mortality rates.
