Implication

Retrospective analysis identifies factors affecting unspecified coding in TBI emergency department visits, suggesting improved diagnostic specificity is needed.

Key Points

S09.90 coding was utilized in 80.5% of TBI-related ED visits, indicating prevalent use among patients.
Older adults and children were more likely to receive unspecified coding, especially for non-severe injuries.
Analysis employed bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions to assess patient and injury factors.
Improved diagnostic specificity for TBI surveillance is essential to accurately represent the injury burden.
