[Editorial] The burden of traumatic brain injury in children (Lancet)

On Feb 21, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, published the Report to Congress: The Management of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Children, to review the public health burden and to make recommendations for the future management and treatment of this population. In a field with such a lack of scientific research and evidence, the report has drawn on all existing resources and studies to comprehensively present the US experience.
