Florida Brain Injury Statistics

According to data from 2013, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) accounted for 3,731 deaths and another 19,170 hospitalizations in the state of Florida. For those non-fatal brain injuries, the median charge for hospitalization was just over $46,000, with the average stay being three days. This does not include any on-going medical care, physical therapy, lost wages and other costs associated with suffering a brain injury.

Accidents Leading to a Brain Injury

Brain injuries can fall into one of two main categories; traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acquired brain injury (ABI). The causes for each of these are different, but each one results in brain dysfunction that can affect your quality of life.

A traumatic brain injury is usually the result of physical trauma by an external force. This can include:

An acquired brain injury is typically caused at the cellular level, resulting in lack of oxygen to the brain or pressure and swelling. The causes can include:

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Brain aneurysms
  • Substance abuse
  • Brain tumors
  • Certain illnesses
  • Poisoning
  • Asphyxiation

Long-Term Implications & Treatment Options for Brain Injuries

There are severe consequences that can stem from a brain injury. Depending on its severity, it can also lead to death. Should someone survive the incident, pervasive health issues can surface. Some of these long-term cognitive problems can include attention deficits, personality changes, mood swings, difficulty thinking, abnormal speech or loss of language and many other issues. For some, it can also lead to more significant consequences such as loss of movement and functioning of limbs or a comatose state.

As far as treatment options, this varies based on the severity of the injury. However, it can include prescribed ways to manage the pain, accompanied by management and monitoring of the symptoms. It can also involve rehabilitative care that aids to restore proper functions for your daily life.
