Trends in pediatric traumatic brain injury-related mortality in the United States from 1999 to 2024: a retrospective cross-sectional analysis.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) remains a preventable cause of death among U.S. children and adolescents. Prior national CDC WONDER-based analyses described pTBI mortality through 2017; however, updated surveillance is needed to evaluate post-2017 and post-2020 trends. Methods: We conducted a population-based repeated cross-sectional analysis using the CDC WONDER Multiple Cause of Death data from 1999 to 2024 among U.S. residents aged 0-19 years with pTBI-related ICD-10 codes recorded anywhere on the death certificate. Crude mortality rates (CMRs) per 1 000 000 population were used to describe the absolute mortality burden. Joinpoint regression estimated the annual percent change (APC) and the average APC (AAPC). Results: From 1999 to 2024, 128 852 pTBI-related deaths occurred among individuals aged 0-19 years. Overall CMR declined from 89.78 per 1 000 000 population in 1999 to 46.63 per 1 000 000 population in 2024, with significant declines from 1999 to 2006 and from 2006 to 2010, a significant increase from 2013 to 2022, and no statistically significant change from 2022 to 2024. Males accounted for more deaths than females (91 852 vs. 37 000), and adolescents aged 15-19 years accounted for the largest number of deaths (82 409). Non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native children had the highest annual CMRs in both bridged-race and single-race periods. State-level burden remained geographically heterogeneous, with Wyoming the highest and Massachusetts the lowest during 1999-2020, and Montana the highest and Massachusetts the lowest during 2021-2024. Conclusion: U.S. pTBI-related crude mortality burden declined overall from 1999 to 2024, but recent increases and persistent demographic and geographic differences highlight the need for continued surveillance and targeted prevention.
