Figures for the incidence of head injury are frequently cited but there has been no accurate estimate and the number of individuals left with persistent disability is not exactly known. This study identified all those admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of head injury, in a known population. In 1 year there were 160 survivors of head injury per 100,000 of population. Rates of disability of 0.38 per 100,000 in need of care and 0.75 per 100,000 unemployable and primarily in need of occupation, were found, excluding those over 65 years old.
头部受伤的发病率数据经常被引用，但一直没有准确的估计，而且遗留持续性残疾的人数也不清楚。本研究在一个已知人群中，识别出所有因头部受伤诊断而入院的患者。在1年时间里，每10万人中有160名头部受伤幸存者。研究发现，每10万人中需要护理的残疾率为0.38，无法就业且主要需要职业培训的残疾率为0.75，65岁以上人群不包括在内。
