- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant challenge in China and globally.
- Recent changes in TBI epidemiology are influenced by factors like population aging and increased moped use.
- Clinical research advancements include innovative treatments such as long-term mild hypothermia for severe TBI and middle meningeal artery embolisation for chronic subdural haematoma.
- Challenges include disparities in healthcare access, neurosurgical training, and low participation in international research networks.
- Progress in China could guide TBI care transitions from low-resource to specialized centers.
