Abstract

From 1999 to 2018, death rates for unintentional TBI among persons aged ≤24 years declined across all age groups. During the 20-year period, TBI-related death rates declined from 3.7 per 100,000 to 1.5 among children aged 0-4 years, from 3.0 to 0.9 for children and adolescents aged 5-14 years, from 14.7 to 4.4 for adolescents and young adults aged 15-19 years, and from 14.1 to 6.9 for young adults aged 20-24 years. For most of the period, rates were highest for persons aged 20-24 years followed by those aged 15-19, 0-4, and 5-14 years.
