Compare the number of deaths and length of stay resulting from intracranial trauma (TBI) by Brazilian region, sex and age group. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, using information obtained from the SUS Hospitalization System (SIH/SUS), which was published on the DATASUS platform by the Ministry of Health. A period of 5 years was analyzed, between January 2018 and December 2022, in Brazilian macro-regions. In the period analyzed, 511,480 hospitalizations for traumatic brain injury (TBI) were recorded in Brazil. In terms of gender, males predominated, accounting for 387,664 hospitalizations (75.79%). It is also important to highlight that the nature of urgency was considered, without distinction between public and private hospitalization. Finally, the importance of developing awareness and primary prevention policies aimed, above all, at younger audiences is clear, as this is the population most vulnerable to this trauma.
