Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain.
Each year, about 1.7 million Americans sustain a TBI; about 52,000 die as a result.
Currently, about 5.3 million Americans are living with a TBI-related disability, and
85,000 persons each year will sustain a TBI that results in a permanent disability.

Hospital discharge data (HDD)◦ Data collected via 2004 Uniform Billing form (UB-
04) ◦ Provided by Nebraska acute care hospitals to the
Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA)◦ E-code data, a subset of HDD containing injury
related records, is provided to the Nebraska DHHS by the NHA

All results are based on deaths and hospital discharges of Nebraska residents. Nebraska residents who died or were treated at hospitals out of state are not included.
Frequencies and rates reflect numbers of discharge records, rather than numbers of patients discharged.
Five-year averages are used to provide more stable rates by reducing the effects of fluctuations from year to year.
