Only 664 patients (11.1%) survived to hospital discharge. Patients were predominantly in age group 16\u201364 (84.6%), were mostly males (77.8%) and white (55.1%). Most were admitted to Level I (55.5%) or Level II trauma centers (31.6%). Injuries were mostly blunt (56.7%) or penetrating (39.3%). The median of the injury severity score (ISS) was 19 (interquartile range [IQR]: 9\u201330). Factors associated with decreased survival included: Age group\u2009\u2265\u200965 (Ref: 16\u201324), male gender, self-inflicted and other or undetermined types of injuries (Ref: assault), injuries to head and neck, injuries to torso and ISS\u2009\u2265\u200916 (Ref:\u2009&lt;\u200916)\u00a0and ED thoracotomy. While factors associated with increased survival included: All injury mechanisms (with the exception of motor vehicle transportation) (Ref: firearm), injuries to extremities or spine and back and all methods of coverage (Ref: self-pay).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with traumatic arrests have poor outcomes with only 11.1% surviving to hospital discharge.
