- Early mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in children can lead to various long-term issues like behavioral changes and cognitive difficulties, but mild cases generally show improvement within a month.

- The research involved 190 children aged 18-60 months, grouped into those with mTBI, orthopedic injuries, and typical development. Optimal functioning was defined by the absence of behavioral issues, cognitive difficulties, persisting symptoms, and maintaining a good quality of life.
