Estimating the global incidence of traumatic brain injury

TL;DR: The case burden of TBI across World Health Organization regions and World Bank income groups was sought to promote advocacy, understanding, and targeted intervention, and study quality was higher in the high-income countries (HICs) than in the low- and middle- Income countries (LMICs).

Pediatric neurosurgical workforce, access to care, equipment and training needs worldwide.

TL;DR: Wide disparity in the access to pediatric neurosurgical care exists globally, particularly in low- and lower-middle-income countries, wherein there is a grossly insufficient presence of capable providers and equipped facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substance use, criminal behaviour and psychiatric symptoms following childhood traumatic brain injury: findings from the ALSPAC cohort.

TL;DR: The increased odds of risk behaviour associated with TBI relative to no injury replicated previous research, however, the inclusion of a non-brain-related injury group adds evidence for a possible causal pathway between mild TBI in youth and later hazardous alcohol use only.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alteration in Long Non-Coding RNA Expression after Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats.

TL;DR: In this paper, the aberrant expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) post-TBI was analyzed in the rat hippocampus and a co-expression network was constructed to predict the potential function of individual lncRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain injury and neural stem cells.

TL;DR: Stem cells can aid in decreasing lesion size and improving function following brain injury, and those that have differentiated to some extent may exhibit limited capability in differentiation potential.

Preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 statement

TL;DR: A reporting guideline is described, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses for Protocols 2015 (PRISMA-P 2015), which consists of a 17-item checklist intended to facilitate the preparation and reporting of a robust protocol for the systematic review.
Journal ArticleDOI

The incidence of traumatic brain injury among children in the United States: differences by race.

TL;DR: Variation in rates by race suggest the need to more closely examine the factors that contribute to these differences, such as the external causes of the injury and associated modifiable factors (e.g., the use of seatbelts and child safety seats).
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of pediatric traumatic brain injury and associated hospital resource utilization in the United States.

TL;DR: In the multivariate regression models, older age, Medicaid insurance status, and admission to any type of children's hospital were associated with a longer length of stay for pediatric traumatic brain injury-associated hospitalizations.
