Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause death or major disability and has received global attention as a public health concern. Despite various short-term, small-sample, or cross-sectional studies on TBI in South Korea, no study has investigated the nationwide longitudinal TBI trends. This retrospective study investigated the epidemiological trends for TBI in South Korea by using a population-based dataset from the National Health Insurance Service-National Health Information Database in Korea for 2008–2017. We used the International Classification of Diseases-10th revision, to identify TBI and differentiate subtypes. The crude and age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates of TBI were calculated and stratified by age, sex, and TBI-related groups. The age-adjusted incidence increased until 2010 and showed a decreasing trend (475.8 in 2017) thereafter, whereas the age-adjusted mortality continuously decreased (42.9 in 2008, 11.3 in 2017). The crude incidence rate increased persistently in the population older than 70 years in the different TBI-related groups. The mortality rate per 100,000 was much higher among ≥70 years than in other age groups. We confirmed changing trends in TBI, with a continuously decreasing overall incidence and a rapidly increasing incidence and high mortality rate in older adults. Given the expected continued increase of the elderly population, active TBI prevention in the elderly is necessary. |
