Popis: OBJECTIVE:This study aims to present overall survival rates to hospital discharge for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Tasmania and to identify predictors of survival. METHODS:A retrospective observational cohort study was undertaken from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014. A probabilistically linked data set was created from paramedic electronic medical records and hospital patient records. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with survival of OHCA. RESULTS:During the study, 2949 incidents of OHCA were reviewed and 1146 had emergency management provided, with an overall survival rate to hospital discharge of 135 (12%). A number of independent factors are associated with improved outcomes including if the initial presenting cardiac rhythm was either ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 8.75, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.15-14.89) (P
