Excerpt
Incidence refers to the number of new TBI events that occur
each year in a specific population or geographic region. It represents
the number of people who had a
TBI event whether or not they experienced related symptoms or problems
after the acute phase of the injury. It is important to note that
these numbers include people who experienced a TBI and appear to
have recovered from the injury.
