abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the status of work-related traumatic brain injury (wrTBI) in Korea between 2010-2019. <br><br>METHODS: This study used Korea Workers' Compensation Insurance data and the sample comprised workers who claimed compensation for wrTBI from 2010-2019. The annual incidence of wrTBI was calculated as the rate per 100,000 workers. Time trends over the 10-year period were assessed using Poisson regression. <br><br>RESULTS: The mean incidence of wrTBI was 28.4/100,000. Regarding the incidence rate of wrTBI by severity, mild TBI and moderate-to-severe TBI were 12.9/100,000, and 15.5/100,000, respectively. The incidence of mild TBI among workers was higher in 2010, but moderate-to-severe TBI was higher after 2011. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the need for providing information on mild TBI to workers as part of occupational safety and health education.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
