Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) continues to be one of the top three leading causes of death and severe disability worldwide, which poses an enormous burden on families, caregivers, and the economy and health care systems. With the constantly aging population, especially in high-income countries, the incidence of falls resulting in TBI is expected to rise.
Improvements in emergency management, diagnostic tools, and neurocritical care, with special attention to secondary injuries and their differential diagnosis and neuromonitoring, as well as rehabilitation programs, have contributed to a better understanding of individual pathophysiology and outcomes after TBI. Multidimensional outcome assessment tools have been developed.
Clinicians and scientists are encouraged to submit original research papers or state-of-the-art reviews for this upcoming Special Issue focusing on aspects of acute management and neurocritical care of TBI patients, neuromonitoring, rehabilitation during the acute, subacute, and chronic phases, as well as outcome assessment after a TBI.
