We aimed to investigate Utstein factors associated with achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital in traumatic OHCA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry (VACAR) was used to identify cases of traumatic OHCA that received attempted resuscitation and occurred between July 2008 and June 2014.

Factors that were positively associated with achieving ROSC in multivariable logistic regression models were age \u226565 years (adjusted OR (AOR)=1.56, 95% CI: 1.01 to 2.43) and arresting rhythm (shockable (AOR=3.65, 95%\u2009CI: 1.64 to 8.11) and pulseless electrical activity (AOR=2.15, 95%\u2009CI: 1.36 to 3.39) relative to asystole). Similarly, factors positively associated with survival to hospital were arresting rhythm (shockable (AOR=3.92, 95%\u2009CI: 1.64 to 9.41) relative to asystole), and the mechanism of injury (falls (AOR=2.16, 95%\u2009CI: 1.03 to 4.54) relative to motor vehicle collisions), while trauma type (penetrating (AOR=0.27, 95%\u2009CI: 0.08 to 0.91) relative to blunt trauma) and event region (rural (AOR=0.39, 95%\u2009CI: 0.19 to 0.80) relative to urban) were negatively associated with survival to hospital.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Few patient and arrest characteristics were associated with outcomes in traumatic OHCA.
