<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Neurological disorders are increasingly recognised as major causes of death and disability worldwide. The aim this analysis from the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 is to provide most comprehensive up-to-date estimates global, regional, national burden neurological disorders. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated prevalence, incidence, deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs; sum years life lost [YLLs] lived with [YLDs]) by...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord (SCI) are increasingly recognised as global health priorities in view of the preventability most injuries complex expensive medical care they necessitate. We aimed to measure incidence, prevalence, years life lived with disability (YLDs) for TBI SCI from all causes every country, describe how these measures have changed between 1990 2016, estimate proportion cases caused by different types injury.
The Global Burden of Diseases (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors study used the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) to quantify burden diseases, injuries, risk factors. This paper provides an overview injury estimates from 2013 update GBD, with detailed information on incidence, mortality, DALYs rates change 1990 for 26 causes injury, globally, by region country.Injury mortality was estimated using extensive GBD database, corrections ill-defined cause death ensemble modelling tool. Morbidity...
<h3>Background</h3> Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common problem in general practice settings, yet previous research does not take into account those who do attend hospital after injury. This important as there evidence that effects may be far from mild. <h3>Aim</h3> To determine whether people sustain any persistent 1 year mTBI, and to identify the predictors of health outcomes. <h3>Design setting</h3> A community-based, longitudinal population study an mTBI incidence cohort...
There is increasing evidence that some people can experience persistent symptoms for up to a year following mild TBI. However, few longitudinal studies of TBI exist and the longer-term impact remains unclear. The purpose this study determine if there are long-term effects traumatic brain injury (TBI) four-years later. Adults (aged ≥16 years) identified as part incidence who experienced mild-TBI ago (N = 232) were compared age-sex matched controls 232). Sociodemographic variables, prior...
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major public health, medical, and societal challenge globally. They present substantial burden to victims, their families, the society as whole. Although indicators such incidence or death rates provide insight into occurrence outcome of TBIs in various populations, they fail quantify full extent health impact. Measures years life lost (YLLs), which quantifies number because person dies prematurely due disease injury, should be employed better population...
Purpose: After a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, it is widely recommended that family members be actively engaged in the client's rehabilitation journey because evidence suggests this associated with better outcomes. The ability of fully engage may hindered by barriers (logistical and psychological) they encounter. However, services can facilitate engagement through person-centred approach provides support remove barriers. Limited published guidance exists regarding practical...
Psychological interventions may make a valuable contribution to recovery following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and have been advocated for in treatment consensus guidelines. Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) is more recently developed therapeutic option that offer an effective approach. Consequently, we ACTion mTBI, 5-session ACT-informed intervention protocol. To establish the feasibility of this intervention, wanted understand participants’ experiences determine acceptability...
We aimed to estimate from a societal perspective the 1-year and lifetime direct indirect costs of traumatic brain injury (TBI) for New Zealand (NZ) in 2010 projected 2020.An incidence-based cost illness model was developed using data Brain Injury Outcomes Community Study. Details TBI-related resource use during first 12 months after were obtained 725 cases utilization information participant surveys medical records. Total are presented US dollars year value.In 2010, 11,301 first-ever TBI...
Background Insufficient data exist on population-based trends in morbidity and mortality to determine the success of prevention strategies improvements health care delivery stroke. The aim this study was incidence outcome (1-year mortality, 28-day case-fatality) relation management risk factors for stroke multi-ethnic population Auckland, New Zealand (NZ) over 30-years. Methods Four register studies were undertaken adult residents (aged ≥15 years) Auckland NZ 1981–1982, 1991–1992, 2002–2003...
The relationship between moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cognitive deficits is well known. nature, duration predictors of difficulties post-mild TBI remain unclear. This study examined cognitive, mood post-concussion outcomes mild over 1-year post-injury.Adults (>15 years) with (n = 260) completed neuropsychological (CNS-Vital Signs, Behavioural Dyscontrol Scale), (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale) behavioural assessments (Cognitive Failures Questionnaire, Rivermead...
