CONCLUSIONS: The clinical epidemiology of TBI from this single-institution LMIC series differs substantially from that of high-income countries. A 21% mortality predominantly affecting young economically productive adults represents a serious public health burden. Substantial gaps persist across many aspects of the TBI-management continuum, presenting clear opportunities to improve the current sub-optimal outcome-metrics in sub-Saharan Africa.
