The Lancet Neurology Commission¹ draws attention to the devastating impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on patients and their families, and the huge public health burden and economic cost of TBI globally. About 50–60 million new TBI cases are estimated to occur annually, with 2·5 million occurring in the European Union.¹ The burden of TBI is greatest in low-income and middle-income countries, where 90% of trauma-related deaths occur.^2,3 The Commission sets priorities for prevention, clinical care, and research, calling for a combination of innovative research methods and global collaboration to address the huge but poorly recognised public health challenge of TBI, with steps to ensure that developments in care and progress in research are effectively translated into clinical practice and public health policy.

颅脑外伤：公共卫生政策的重点

柳叶刀神经病学委员会（Lancet Neurology Commission）¹提请注意创伤性脑损伤（TBI）对患者及其家人的毁灭性影响，以及全球TBI的巨大公共卫生负担和经济成本。估计每年约有50-60百万新的TBI病例发生，其中有2·5百万发生在欧盟。¹在低收入和中等收入国家，TBI的负担最大，那里有90％的与创伤有关的死亡发生。^2,3 该委员会为预防，临床护理和研究设定了优先事项，呼吁将创新的研究方法与全球合作相结合，以应对TBI面临的巨大但尚未得到公认的公共卫生挑战，并采取步骤确保护理的发展和研究的进展有效地转化为临床实践和公共卫生政策。
