Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common public health concern that affects millions of people each year. The available epidemiology of mTBI may contain insights that can guide future identification, prevention, and treatment efforts. This article discusses epidemiology of both non-sports-related mTBI and sports-related concussion. Specific occupational factors, emergency department data, and meta-analysis regarding mTBI are reviewed and discussed. With regard to sports concussion, the article will discuss data related to the sport played, the individual's position, level of play, and gender differences. Although males make up a larger percentage of cases than do females throughout the majority of reviewed non-sports-related mTBI data, the sports literature indicates that rates are higher in women when similar sports are compared. Identifiable risk factors within sports include female gender, sport, and position played. Emerging trends across mTBI include increased incidence and decreased rate of hospitalization for mTBI.
轻度创伤性脑损伤(mTBI)是一个常见的公共卫生问题,每年影响数百万人。现有的 mTBI 流行病学可能包含有助于指导未来识别、预防和治疗工作的见解。本文讨论了非运动相关 mTBI 和运动相关脑震荡的流行病学。讨论和审查了特定的职业因素、急诊科数据和 mTBI 的荟萃分析。关于运动性脑震荡,本文将讨论与所进行的运动、个人的位置、运动水平和性别差异相关的数据。尽管在大多数审查的非运动相关 mTBI 数据中,男性占病例的比例大于女性,但体育文献表明,当比较类似的运动时,女性的比率更高。运动中可识别的危险因素包括女性性别、运动和所扮演的位置。mTBI 中出现的新趋势包括发病率增加和住院率降低。
