Abstract :
Background:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide1
. India carries a disproportionate
burden due to rapid motorisation and weak road safety systems.
Objective:
To evaluate epidemiology, risk determinants, radiological findings, clinical patterns, and outcomes among TBI patients
in a tertiary care centre.
Methods:
A prospective observational study of 200 patients admitted between October 2019 and June 2021.4
Results:
Most patients were males (73%), mean age 31.16 years. Two‐wheeler drivers (38.5%) and pedestrians (38%) comprised
majority. Contusions were the most common CT finding (41%). Good recovery (GOS 5) occurred in 90.5%.
Conclusion:
Young males are at highest risk. Strengthening road safety policies and prehospital care is essential.
