Abstract: Background: Traumatic Brain injuries (TBI) are a real social problem with an upward trend worldwide. For these reason prognostic factors in head injury are of major importance to all surgeons who treat patients with severe head injury especially for countries like India for better targeting of limited health care resources and implementation of specific methods of treatment to patients and to determine the incidence of age, sex, distribution, etiological factors, clinical presentation, neurologically assessment and mode of brain injuries with particular reference to severe head injury. Methods: This study was conducted in the Neurosurgery department of JLNMCH Bhagalpur from January 2020 to December 2020. In this study 260 patients of Traumatic brain injury were included The patients were divided into 3 age groups: elderly (>59 years), middle-aged (19?59 years), and juvenile (<18 years) individuals. Mortality was assessed at 1 month. Appropriate statistical analyzes (details in article) were performed. Result: Among 260 hospitalizations for traumatic brain injury (201 males and 59 females, 51 died (19.61%), the highest and lowest mortality rates were in the elderly and juvenile groups, respectively. Fall was the most com?mon cause in juvenile and elderly individuals (32.79% and 43.95%, respectively), while traffic injury was most common in the elderly group (35.08%). The manners of injury differed considerably among the 3 age groups. Scalp injury, skull fracture, intracranial hematoma, and cerebral injury were the most common mechanisms in juvenile (67.32%), middle-aged (63.50%), elderly (69.56%) and middle-aged (90.44%) individuals, respective?ly. Scalp injury and skull fracture types differed among the groups. Epidural, subdural, and intra cerebral hema?tomas were most common in juvenile, middle-aged, and elderly individuals, respectively. Cerebral contusion showed the highest frequency in the 3 groups, and concussion the lowest. Conclusions: Age is a strong prognostic factor following traumatic brain injury (TBI), with discrepancies defining the critical prognostic age threshold.
