Demographic, injury, and clinical characteristics of individuals were collected. The primary outcome was mTBI-related return ED visit within 4 weeks. Multiple logistic regression tested the associated of individual demographic, injury, and clinical characteristics with mTBI-related return ED visit.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>There were 25,582 individuals who had an ED visit for mTBI, of which 717 (2.8%) returned to the ED within 4 weeks and 468 (1.8%) within 1 week with a mTBI-related diagnosis. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, public insurance (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21\u20131.72) and female sex (aOR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.15\u20131.56) were associated with increased odds of return to the ED within 4 weeks. Age younger than 2 years (aOR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.21\u20130.72) was associated with decreased odds of return visit. There was a trend toward decreased odds of return patients receiving computed tomography head imaging (aOR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.74\u20131.01).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Although return to the ED for mTBI-related complaints is uncommon, girls, older children, and publicly insured individuals may be at increased risk.
