Abstract in brief

  • Approximately 69 million people worldwide sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, with the highest proportions resulting from road traffic collisions in Africa and Southeast Asia.
  • The incidence of TBI varies across regions, being most frequent in North America and Europe, and less common in Africa, with differences also influenced by socioeconomic factors and data quality.
  • Research utilizing systematic reviews and epidemiological modeling estimates TBI cases by analyzing road traffic injury data, with higher data quality in high-income countries compared to low- and middle-income nations.
