Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, disability and socioeconomic losses in India and other developing countries

 It is estimated that nearly 1.5 to 2 million persons are injured and 1 million1 succumb to death every year in India resulting in deaths, injuries and disabilities of young and productive people of our society.

Road traffic injuries are the leading cause (60%) 2 of TBI followed by falls (20%-25%) and violence (10%). Alcohol involvement is known to be present among 15%-20% of TBIs at the time of injury.

The failure to implement several proven countermeasures and neglect of people’s safety has only resulted in increase of TBI. Technological advancements in recent years have clearly reduced the case fatality rates from Injuries and TBI, especially in Urban India.
