original publication.
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.
Tranexamic Acid Is Efficacious at Decreasing the Rate of Blood Loss in Adolescent Scoliosis Surgery: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2018 Dec 5;100(23):2024-2032120 patients, 10-18 years of age, scheduled for corrective instrumented posterior fusion for adolescent scoliosis were randomized to either intravenous tranexamic acid or placebo. Patients were assessed for blood loss parameters intraoperatively and over the first 24 hours postoperatively. Results demonstrated a significantly lower rate of clinically relevant blood loss, defined as >20mL/kg, in the TXA group compared to the placebo group. In addition, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative cell salvage volume, postoperative drain volume, and incidence of transfusion were significantly lower in the TXA group compared to the placebo group.
