In Pará, this was shown to be prevalent in the study population. Recognizing, therefore, the severity of the TBI at an early stage and offering adequate management significantly reduces morbidity and mortality. This defense will identify the epidemiological characteristics, proposing alternatives which will aim at preventing cases in the region based on the proposed specific objectives. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an exploratory, descriptive, time-series epidemiological study, from January 2017 to December 2022, obtained from the DATASUS/Ministry of Health electronic form. The study object was considered: number of deaths due to TBI according to sex and age group (0 to 89 years or more) and number of hospitalized patients according to age group, race and gender in the State of Pará and Xingu Region. OBJECTIVE: To compare the epidemiological profile of patients affected by TBI in the Xingu Region (Altamira – PA) with the State of Pará, between 2017 and 2022, through an exploratory and descriptive study with secondary data from DATASUS. RESULTS: During the study period, there were a total of 2,239 hospitalizations, as well as 127 deaths and an overall mortality rate of 2.40%. Altamira was the municipality with the highest number of hospitalizations and deaths. Most victims were male, of mixed race, in their second, third and fourth decades of life. CONCLUSION: TBI affects different ages, being more common in adults, with a higher incidence in men due to high-risk activities. Racial disparities are evident, with a worse prognosis in minorities, reflecting inequalities in access to health care. Studies on the etiology of TBI and its cultural characteristics among Amazonian peoples will be expanded with analyses of hospital records. Prevention policies and equitable access to treatment are essential to improve prognoses.Acesso AbertoPerfil epidemiológicoLesão encefálica traumáticaCuidados médicosEpidemiological profileTraumatic brain injuryMedical careCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA::EPIDEMIOLOGIATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution 3.0 Brazil
