Journal of Orthopaedics 2021 November
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether tranexamic acid (TXA) use was associated with lower rates of blood transfusion in patients undergoing pelvic and/or acetabular fracture surgery.
METHODS: Four studies were included, 3 of which were included in the pooled data analysis for a total of 308 patients.
RESULTS: The transfusion rate was significantly lower in the TXA group (44%) compared with the non-TXA group (57%) (P = 0.02).
CONCLUSION: TXA use was associated with a significantly lower transfusion rate in patients who underwent pelvic and/or acetabular fracture surgery.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3. Systematic review of retrospective cohort studies and prospective randomized controlled trials.
