估计美国平民中与创伤性脑损伤（TBI）相关的长期残疾的患病率。方法：我们首先估计在过去的70年里，每年有多少人因TBI而长期残疾。然后，考虑到TBI幸存者死亡率的增加，我们估计了他们的预期寿命，并计算了2005年预计有多少人活着。结果如下：在2005年初，估计有1.1%的美国平民或317万人（95% CI：302 - 332万）因TBI而长期残疾。在关于TBI对寿命影响的不太保守的假设下，这一估计值为332万（95% CI：316 - 348万）。结论：在因TBI住院的美国平民中发生了大量的长期残疾。
To estimate the prevalence of long-term disability associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the civilian population of the United States. Methods: We first estimated how many people experienced long-term disability from TBI each year in the past 70 years. Then, accounting for the increased mortality among TBI surviors, we estimated their life expectancy and calculated how many were expected to be alive in 2005. Results: An estimated 1.1 % of the US civilian population or 3.17 million people (95% CI: 3.02-3.32 million) were living with a long-term disability from TBI at the beginning of 2005. Under less conservative assumptions about TBI's impact on lifespan, this estimate is 3.32 million (95% CI: 3.16-3.48 million). Conclusion: Substantial long-term disability occurs among the US civilians hospitalized with a TBI.
