Objectives

To investigate the value of tranexamic acid (TA) in reducing blood loss and blood transfusion after TKR and other clinical outcomes such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), ischaemic heart diseases and mortality.

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis of published randomised and quasi-randomised trials which used TA to reduce blood loss in knee arthroplasty was conducted. The data was evaluated using the generic evaluation tool designed by the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group.
