The Burden of Traumatic Brain Injury, Its Causes, and Future Trend Predictions in 204 Countries and Territories (1990–2021): Results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
Despite some evidence pointing to the decreasing burden of TBI, this injury remains a serious public health and social problem concerning peace and war, especially in countries of Eastern Europe and Central Europe with high-medium sociodemographic index. Our findings highlight road injuries as a key target for prevention and underscore the importance of fall prevention strategies - particularly for older adults and other vulnerable groups. Preventive strategies should concentrate on enhancing public awareness of road safety, improving laws and regulations on road traffic safety management, stabilizing impetuous and restless social emotions, stopping the war, and defending world peace to reduce the burden of TBI further.
