5 things you NEED to know about acquired brain injury (ABI)

 

An ABI is classified as an injury to the brain acquired after birth, so it can occur at any age and there are multiple different causes. Around 1 in 45 Australians have an ABI. Almost 75% of people with an ABI are younger than 65, and about 20,000 children under 15 years are impacted by this in Australia (as noted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in 2021). Causes include: traumatic brain injuries (from road traffic collisions, falls, assaults, etc.), cerebral aneurysms, brain haemorrhages or tumours, meningitis, and strokes. As such, they are classified by severity as being mild, moderate, or severe.
