The Central Nervous System Injury (CNSI) Surveillance Project is funded by the Kentucky Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund Board under the Cabinet for Health and Family Services Department of Aging and Independent Living.
The Central Nervous System Injury Surveillance project tracks cases of traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, nontraumatic brain injury, and stroke as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and KRS 211.470. Cases are selected from the Kentucky Hospital Discharge Database and include emergency department visits as well as inpatient admissions. An annual report is generated using these data, with 2010 being the first year that included emergency department cases.
