Acquired Brain Injury General Facts

  • The annual incidence of TBI is greater than that of Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, HIV/AIDS and Breast Cancer combined.
  • Over 500,000 Canadians sustain a traumatic brain injury each year, and incidence rates are on the rise.
  • TBI is the leading killer and disabler of Canadians under the age of 40.
  • Men experience brain injury twice as often as women.
  • The human skull provides very little protection from injury; it is only one quarter inch thick.
  • Concussion is the third most prevalent sport related injury.
  • After one brain injury, you are at three times greater risk for a second brain injury and eight times greater for other bodily injuries.
  • Neurotrauma injuries (brain injury, spinal cord injury) impact over half a million Ontarians and create a cost burden to the province in the order of 2 to 3 billion annually.
  • Each severe brain injury costs our medical system over $400,000 at the time of injury. Costs remain approximately the same each year following the incident due to indirect expenses and follow-up treatment.
