On March 31, 2020, Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) released a statistical brief on inpatient stays and emergency department visits involving traumatic brain injury (TBI). This HCUP statistical brief presents statistics on initial and subsequent TBI-related inpatient stays and treat-and-release emergency department visits (i.e., those that do not result in admission to the same hospital) using the 2017 National Inpatient Sample and the 2017 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample. Readmission rates following inpatient stays for TBI-related injuries also are presented using the 2017 Nationwide Readmissions Database . . .
