  2. In 1995, clinical case definition standardized • It included any intracranial injury and any reported loss of consciousness or concussion. Guidelines for Surveillance of Central Nervous System Injury Thurman DJ, Sniezek JE, Jonson D, Greenspan A, Smith SMAtlanta: Centers for disease Control and Prevention, 1995).

  3. duration < 1 hr 1-24 hr 24 hr+ unknown yes yes no LOC Intracranial injury no concussion Fracture Internal Nerves ICD-9-CM The definition encompasses a wide range of conditions which are easily, and with clinical reasoning, classifiable into two very distinctive groups of patients

  4. Type 1 TBI: recorded evidence of an intracranial injury or a moderate or a prolonged loss of consciousness Shaken Infant Syndrome and injuries to the optic nerve pathways. Type 2 TBI: no recorded evidence of intracranial injury and a  loc of less than one hour, a loc of unknown duration or an unspecified level of consciousness.  Type 3 TBI: no evidence of intracranial injury and no loc. Barell matrix definitions

  5. “We highly recommend the development of research guidelines to standardize definitional, case finding, and data reporting parameters to help establish a more precise description and hence utility of the epidemiology of TBI in Europe”. It was difficult to reach a consensus on all epidemiological findings across the 23 published European studies because of critical differences in methods employed across the reports.

Atlanta (GA): Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control; 2006. The ICD-9-CM codes for TBI included in the analysis differed slightly from those in the Barell Matrix, a recommended categorization of ICD-9-CM codes for nonfatal injuries. The inclusion of 959.01 (head injury, unspecified)…

  7. ICD-9-CM codes for traumatic brain injury related ED visits (1995-2001) Fracture of the vault or base of the skull 800.0–801.9 Other and unqualified multiple fractures of the skull 803.0–804.9 Intracranial injury, including concussion, contusion, laceration, and hemorrhage 850.0–854.1 Head injury, unspecified 959.01 995.55, 950(.1-.3) Langlois JA, Rutland-Brown W, Thomas KE.

  9. Mild traumatic brain injury in the United States, 1998–2000 ‘skull fracture’ (800.0, 800.5, 801.0, 801.5, 803.0, 803.5, 804.0, 804.5), ‘concussion’ (850.0, 850.1, 850.5, 850.9), ‘intracranial injury of unspecified nature’ (854.0) and ‘head injury, unspecified’ (959.0). These codes are intended to identify TBI’s that approximate the mTBI clinical definition. They were recommended as the administrative case definition of mTBI for surveillance and research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Work Group in October 2002. Includes cases where there is no intracranial injury even if there is an extended (>24h) LOC BAZARIAN JJ, MCCLUNG J, SHAH MN, CHENG YT, FLESHER W & KRAUS J Brain Injury, February 2005; 19(2): 85–91

  10. A look at the data Population and methods Retrospective analysis of TBI data recorded in the Israel National Trauma Registry 1/1/1998-12/31/2005. Patients were included if they had isolated TBI.

  11. AGE distribution by type of TBI 1998-2005, 7408 patients with isolated TBI

  12. SEVERITY OF INJURY (ISS) 1998-2005, 7408 patients with isolated TBI

  13. Type of TBI by injury severity Among ISS 16+ (n=3077) Among all TBI (n=7408)

  14. Severity Indicators 1998-2005, 7408 patients with isolated TBI

  15. Conclusion: Groups seem valid. Need to touch up definitions and finish the work begun a decade ago Implications for ICD-11?

  16. Partners? NCIPC ANA Do we agree that it is our business to improve and disseminate a uniform / multi-leveled TBI definition?

  17. Thank you.
