Chinese researchers complete large-scale brain injury study
The average age of Chinese patients suffering traumatic brain injury is 48 years old and traffic accidents are the leading cause, covering half of all cases.
Among all patients, 22 percent suffer serious injury and 36 percent are treated at specialized intensive care units. Fully 74 percent of patients are male and 83 percent are young or middle aged, according to research of some 13,000 patients from 56 hospitals in 22 provinces and municipalities.
“The research is important to provide evidence and information for traumatic brain injury treatment and government policy-making,” said Dr Jiang Jiyao, leading scientist of the research and director of neurosurgery department at Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. “For traffic accidents, we found that injures due to cars are dropping while those related with mopeds and e-bikes are surging quickly across the country.”
