Canadian Medical Association Journal Jun 15 2026 Female patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are 26% less likely to be admitted to a specialized trauma centre than males, according to a study on data from Ontario published in CMAJ ( Canadian Medical Association Journal ) https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.251721 . This difference persisted even after the researchers accounted for factors such as age, severity of injury, other health conditions, and socioeconomic circumstances.
