Figure.. Traumatic Brain Injury–Related Mortality Rates in the US by Age, 1999-2020
Crude and age-standardized mortality rate estimates are equivalent when age is stratified using the categories of younger than 25 years, 25 to 49 years, 50 to 74 years, and 75 years or older. Number of model joinpoints (determined using the weighted Bayesian information criterion) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) for each joinpoint segment by age group are as follows: younger than 25 years, 2 joinpoints (2006, 2010) (AAPC: 1999-2006, −1.82 [95% CI, −2.99 to −0.64]; 2006-2010, −8.14 [95% CI, −12.58 to −3.47]; 2010-2020, 0.61 [95% CI, −0.22 to 1.44]); 25-49 years, 2 joinpoints (2007, 2010) (AAPC: 1999-2007, −0.49 [95% CI, −1.35 to 0.37]; 2007-2010, −4.81 [95% CI, −12.39 to 3.42]; 2010-2020, 1.21 [95% CI, 0.56 to 1.86]); 50-74 years, 1 joinpoint (2011) (AAPC: 1999-2011, 0.26 [95% CI, 0.05 to 0.48]; 2011-2020, 1.14 [95% CI, 0.86 to 1.43]); and 75 years or older, 0 joinpoints (AAPC: 1999-2020, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.80 to 2.15).
