🧠 Brain injury fix is way outside hospitals

A global study published in Nature Medicine suggests that preventing traumatic brain injury happens outside medical settings. Researchers from Oregon Health & Science University analyzed data from over 2,000 patients across 100 hospitals in 29 countries between 2019 and 2022. Motor vehicle crashes were found to be the leading cause worldwide, though ground-level falls affected older adults in richer nations. The findings stress the need for public health improvements like better roads and helmet use. Ultimately, different countries must tailor their prevention strategies based on local needs. 🧠
