GEO-TBI: Incidence
The first GEO-TBI registry study starts in October 2022!
The GEO-TBI: Incidence is an epidemiological 3-month "snapshot" study
Primary aim
Describe the epidemiology of TBI and compare outcomes between Human Development Index (HDI) tiers
Secondary aims
Examine differences in TBI demographics, mechanisms and baseline clinical characteristics alongside indications and means of TBI management
Establish an international benchmark to compare outcomes in future clinical audits and research
Demonstrate the feasibility of collaborative registry data collection, expand and empower the international neurotrauma professional network to conduct collaborative research
Protocol
All TBI admitted during a 3-month time window of your choice
Data collected: core GEO-TBI registry data points (see the Case Report Form)
Primary outcome measures:
2-week mortality
Glasgow Outcome at Discharge Scale (GODS)

Core GEO-TBI registry
Each year, traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects 69 million people worldwide
90% of injury-related mortality occurs in low-and-middle income countries
More than 80% of TBI research originates from high-income countries
Objectives
Establish a global collaboration to map TBI patient outcomes and Global Neurotrauma efforts
Provide high-quality means of data collection, sharing and research collaboration
Enable clinical auditing programmes to improve neurotrauma treatment
The WFNS and NIHR Global Health Research Group on Neurotrauma
welcome all neurosurgical centres to participate!
