The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) has posted a new statistical brief on the following: Inpatient Stays and Emergency Department Visits Involving Traumatic Brain Injury, 2017.
In 2017, over 1 million inpatient stays and treat-and-release ED visits had a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) (100 TBI-related stays and 247 visits per 100,000 population).
This Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Statistical Brief presents statistics on initial and subsequent TBI-related inpatient stays and treat-and-release emergency department (ED) visits (i.e., those that do not result in admission to the same hospital) using the 2017 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) and the 2017 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS). Readmission rates following inpatient stays for TBI-related injuries also are presented using the 2017 Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD).
