Intravenous and topical tranexamic acid have similar efficacy in TKA .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
One step closer to sparing total blood loss and transfusion rate in total knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis of different methods of tranexamic acid administration.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. 2015 Apr;135(4):573-88.31 randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis which was conducted with the intention of comparing systemic (intravenous (IV)) and topical (intra-articular (IA)) administration of tranexamic acid (TXA). Outcomes of interest included total blood loss, rates of transfusion, and incidence of thromboembolic events. Upon analysis of the data, it was found that there was no significant difference between the intravenous and topical application of TXA, and both were superior to the control. Furthermore, neither method of TXA application was associated with an increase in thromboembolic complications when compared to the control.
