1 THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES IN NEW YORK STATE Michael Bauer, Sarah Sperry, Kainan Sun, Susan Hardman New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Injury Prevention

2 What is Traumatic Brain Injury? Damage to the brain that results from: Violent shaking Striking a stationary object Being struck by a moving object Prevention is the ONLY cure!

3 Injuries are not Accidents Traumatic Brain Injuries are not random, uncontrollable acts of fate but rather occur: In highly predictable patterns With recognizable risk factors Among identifiable populations A TBI is a predictable and preventable event! This presentation will demonstrate some of these patterns in NYS.

4 Traumatic Brain Injury TBI data is like an iceberg. Death data is just the tip of the problem Hospitalization Discharge Data Emergency Department (ED) Visit Data Other medical treatment, or Untreated?

5 Traumatic Brain Injury New York State, Deaths 11.1/100,000 New Yorkers Hospitalizations 96.2/100,000 New Yorkers Average stay of 7 days Average charge of $37,839 ED Visits 425.4/100,000 New Yorkers Average charge of $1,909 µ = mean annual frequency

6 Traumatic Brain Injury - Hospitalizations New York State Residents, The rate of TBI hospitalizations have been increasing over time.

7 Traumatic Brain Injury - ED Visits New York State Residents, The rate of TBI ED Visits have increased each year since the data has been collected.

8 Gender Differences with TBI 73% of deaths were males Mean annual frequency male = 1,569 (16.7 per 100,000) Mean annual frequency female = 585 (5.9 per 100,000) 62% of hospitalized TBI patients were male Mean annual frequency male = 11,526 (122.7 per 100,000) Mean annual frequency female = 7,103 (71.2 per 100,000) 55% of ED Visits TBI patients were male Mean annual frequency male = 45,190 (481.1 per 100,000) Mean annual frequency female = 37,192 (373.0 per 100,000)

11 Traumatic Brain Injury- Charge Information New York State, Mean charge for hospitalizations = $37,839 Mean charge for non-tbi hospitalizations = $28,502 Mean length of stay = 7 days Yearly average hospitalization charges = $700 Million Mean charge for ED Visits = $1,909 Mean charge for non-tbi ED Visit = $1,044 Yearly average ED charges = $160 Million

12 Traumatic Brain Injury - Deaths New York State Residents, Early twenties and adults older than 65 have the highest rates.

13 Traumatic Brain Injury - Hospitalizations New York State Residents, Children less than one and adults older than 65 have the highest rates.

14 Traumatic Brain Injury - ED Visits New York State Residents, Children 0-4 and have the highest rates.

15 TBIs Disproportionately Impact Vulnerable New Yorkers: Older Adults Highest death rate 30.5/100,000 Death rate is 3x higher than any other age group! Highest rate of hospitalization (266.3/100,000) Children Children less than one have the second highest hospitalization rate (179.7) Children less than 1 and 1-4 have the highest ED treatment rates (1,447.0 & /100,000, respectively)

34 Selected Risk Factors Crash Types and Contributing Factors Type of Crash or Contributing Factor Total Number of People Involved Number of People Hospitalized TBI (Percent of Hospitalizations ) Alcohol-Related 20,255 1, % Speed-Related 68,762 2, % Driver Distraction 132,251 1, % Failure to Yield 106,273 1, % Following Too Closely Passing / Lane Violations Traffic Control Disregarded 116, % 51, % 31, %

35 Selected Risk Factors Traffic Injuries Role Types Type of Crash or Contributing Factor Total Number of People Involved Number of People Hospitalized TBI (Percent of Hospitalizations ) Bicyclists 5, % Motorcyclists 5,845 1, % Motor Vehicle s 719,548 8, % s 16,415 1, % Other 35, % NYS Helmet Laws: Bicyclists under the age 14 must wear an approved helmet All motorcycle riders (drivers and passengers) must wear a DOTapproved helmet

36 Selected Risk Factors Traffic Injuries Restraint Use Type of Crash or Contributing Factor Total Number of People Involved Number of People Hospitalized TBI (Percent of Hospitalizations ) No Restraint Used 24,357 1, % Restraint Used 563,621 6, % Unknown 131,570 1, % s that did not use restraints: Were almost 4 times more likely to require hospitalization The average hospital charge was over $20,000 higher! Were almost 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with a TBI NYS seat belt law: Every occupant in the front seats, the driver and each passenger must wear a seat belt. Every occupant of a motor vehicle being operated by the holder of a Learner Permit, or Junior Driver License must be restrained by a safety restraint. Each passenger under age 16 must wear a seat belt or use an appropriate child safety restraint system.

37 Conclusions Annually in NYS, TBIs result in: 2,100 deaths 18,500 hospitalizations 82,000 emergency department visits $860 million in hospital charges Motor vehicle crashes, falls, and assaults are the leading causes of TBI

38 Conclusions Who is at greatest risks: Males are more likely to sustain a TBI. Adults 65 years and older have the highest rate of TBI deaths. Children under the age of one and adults 65 years and older are most likely to sustain a TBI severe enough to require hospitalization; year olds have the third highest rate. Children four years and younger are the most likely to be treated in an emergency department for a TBI; year olds have the third highest rate.

39 Conclusions While it is difficult to grasp the extent of TBI incidence and prevalence, the data does show patterns in the occurrence of TBI. Continued surveillance efforts will increase our knowledge of TBI occurrence. Prevention programs focused on evidence-based strategies and best practices will help to prevent traumatic brain injuries among New Yorkers!
