The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) tracks the number of traumatic brain injuries in the U.S. military and publishes the information on their website. DVBIC gets the information directly from the military electronic health record system. The reports include cases that use the diagnosis codes for TBI and cover members of the U.S. forces around the world, not just those deployed to combat areas. It is important to note that more than 80% of military TBIs are not related to deployments and the reports include TBIs caused by auto accidents in personal vehicles, falls, sports and recreation activities, as well as military training. Reports are organized by year and updated every quarter.
