- We conducted a meta-analysis to compare of combined IV with topical administration TXA with IV TXA after THA.
- Only randomized controlled trials were included.
- Combined IV with topical TXA is associated with less total blood loss and need for transfusion after THA.
BackgroundThe optimal dose and protocol of tranexamic acid (TXA) for reducing blood loss in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is controversial. Intravenous TXA (IV-TXA) and combined IV-TXA with topical TXA are the two common protocol after THA. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the efficacy and safety of combined IV and topical TXA with IV-TXA alone in reducing blood loss after THA.MethodsPubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, China Wanfang database and Google database were searched from the inception to February 2017 to identify RCTs that comparing combined IV and topical TXA with IV-TXA alone for patients prepared for primary THA. Total blood loss, hidden blood loss, transfusion rate, hemoglobin drop, length of hospital stay and the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) were pooled to comprehensive analyses the efficacy and safety of combined IV and topical TXA with IV-TXA alone. Software Stata 12.0 was used to calculated relevant data.ResultsSix RCTs involving 747 patients were finally included in the meta-analysis. Combined TXA decrease the volume of total blood loss and hidden blood loss by 250.37 ml (MD = â250.37; 95% CI: â376.43 to â124.31, P = 0.000) and 117.23 ml respectively (MD = â117.23; 95% CI: 228.38 to â6.07, P = 0.091). Meanwhile, combined TXA can also decrease the transfusion rate by 9.1% (RR = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.63; P = 0.001). No significant differences were seen in hemoglobin drop, the length of hospital stay and the occurrence of DVT between the two groups (P > 0.05).ConclusionsOur meta-analysis suggests that the combined application of IV and topical TXA for patients undergoing THA may reduce the total blood loss compared with IV use alone without increasing the risk of postoperative complications. However, due to the quality and number of included studies, more studies were need to further identify the optimal dose for combine IV-TXA.
