This study indicates that children with mTBI are at risk of long-term deficits in neurocognitive and behavioral functioning, with longitudinal evidence suggesting shortfalls in school performance up to two years postinjury. Clinical risk factors do not provide a solid basis for long-term neurodevelopmental prognosis. Findings emphasize the importance of, and challenges for, early identification of children at risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcome after mTBI.
