Trauma
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. Its purpose is to track cases of traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and acquired brain injury as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kentucky Revised Statues (KRS 211.470).
The trauma centers upload trauma data electronically every quarter into the Kentucky Trauma Data Bank. With support from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, KIPRC analyzes the statewide trauma registry data and provides a detailed profile of the traumatic injuries treated in the state’s trauma facilities.
