New ABI statistics from Headway UK
To mark Action for Brain Injury Week, Headway UK have launched the first dataset on all ABI-related hospital admissions in the UK. These include non-superficial head injuries, strokes, brain tumours, encephalitis, and a variety of additional conditions.
The figures show a concerning growth in the number of people sustaining injuries to the brain each year, particularly among females, where the number being admitted to hospitals in the UK with non-superficial head injuries has risen by a shocking 24% since 2005-06.
