Aims Cementless primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with risks of bleeding and thromboembolism. Anticoagulants are effective as venous thromboprophylaxis, but with an increased risk of bleeding. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an efficient antifibrinolytic agent, but the mode and timing of its administration remain controversial. This study aimed to determine whether two intravenous (IV) TXA regimens (a three-hour two-dose (short-TXA) and 11-hour four-dose (long-TXA)) were more effective than placebo in reducing perioperative real blood loss (RBL, between baseline and day 3 postoperatively) in patients undergoing THA who receive rivaroxaban as thromboprophylaxis. The secondary aim was to assess the non-inferiority of the reduction of blood loss of the short protocol versus the long protocol. Patients and Methods A multicentre, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was undertaken involving 229 patients undergoing primary cementless THA using a posterior approach, whose extended rivaroxaban thromboprophylaxis started on the day of surgery. There were 98 male and 131 female patients, with a mean age of 65.5 years (32 to 91). The primary outcome, perioperative RBL, was evaluated at 72 hours postoperatively. The efficacy of short- and long-TXA protocols in the reduction of perioperative RBL was compared with a placebo group. Results TXA significantly reduced perioperative blood loss compared with placebo (p < 0.001); the mean differences were 525.3 ml (short-TXA vs placebo) and 550.1 ml (long-TXA vs placebo). No venous or arterial thromboembolic complications were reported. The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval, when comparing short and long protocols, was below the pre-specified margin of non-inferiority (p = 0.027). Conclusion In patients undergoing primary cementless THA, using a posterior approach, who are treated with rivaroxaban for thromboembolic prophylaxis, short- and long-TXA IV protocols are significantly more effective than placebo in reducing perioperative RBL, without any thromboembolic complications. Non-inferiority of a short- versus a long-TXA protocol in reducing perioperative RBL was supported in a secondary analysis.

Abstract Introduction: This study was designed to compare the clinical results of additional administration of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) with intravenous TXA (IV-TXA) and to determine its effect in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) without drainage using propensity score matching analysis.Methods: A total of 248 patients (248 hips) underwent primary THA from March 2016 to June 2018. Patients who received topical TXA and IV-TXA were included in the combined group (46 patients), and patients who received IV-TXA were included in the IV only group (202 patients). After propensity score matching, both groups consisted of 44 patients (88 patients in total). We compared the results of total blood loss (TBL), haemoglobin (Hb) level, Hb drop, and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Results: In the combined group, the TBL was 280.4 ± 64.2 mL, which was significantly lower than that in the IV only group (335.3 ± 75.3 mL; p < 0.001). From the preoperative period to 1-week postoperatively, Hb levels were not significantly different between the two groups. There was significantly more Hb drop in the IV only Group from immediate postoperative to postoperative day 3 (POD 3). In both groups, no patient presented with postoperative symptomatic DVT or PE. Conclusion: In patients undergoing primary THA without drainage, combined use of IV-TXA and topical TXA can significantly decrease blood loss without influencing postoperative complications.

AbstractTranexamic acid (TXA) reduces surgical blood loss and alleviates inflammatory response in total hip arthroplasty. However, studies have not identified an optimal regimen. The objective of this study was to identify the most effective regimen of multiple-dose oral TXA in achieving maximum reduction of blood loss and inflammatory response based on pharmacokinetic recommendations. We prospectively studied four multiple-dose regimens (60 patients each) with control group (group A: matching placebo). The four multiple-dose regimens included: 2-g oral TXA 2 hours pre-operatively followed by 1-g oral TXA 3 hours post-operatively (group B), 2-g oral TXA followed by 1-g oral TXA 3 and 7 hours post-operatively (group C), 2-g oral TXA followed by 1-g oral TXA 3, 7 and 11 hours post-operatively (group D) and 2-g oral TXA followed by 1-g oral TXA 3, 7, 11 and 15 hours post-operatively (group E). The primary endpoint was estimated blood loss on post-operative day (POD) 3. Secondary endpoints were thromboelastographic parameters, inflammatory components, function recovery and adverse events. Groups D and E had significantly less blood loss on POD 3, with no significant difference between the two groups. Group E had the most prolonged haemostatic effect, and all thromboelastographic parameters remained within normal ranges. Group E had the lowest levels of inflammatory cytokines and the greatest range of motion. No thromboembolic complications were observed. The post-operative four-dose regimen brings about maximum efficacy in reducing blood loss, alleviating inflammatory response and improving analgaesia and immediate recovery.

Abstract Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) is widely used to reduce blood loss and transfusion rates in total hip arthroplasty(THA). Thromboelastography, which can monitor coagulation changes from clotting to fibrinolysis dynamically. In this study, thromboelastography was used to assess the dynamic changes in the coagulation of patients who underwent THA with the administration of TXA. Methods This randomized controlled trial consisted of 207 consecutive patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty. Patients were randomized into three groups: topical-TXA group received a topical application of TXA, IV-TXA group received an intravenous injection of TXA, and control group. Thromboelastography was performed 1 day before surgery and first, fourth, seventh days after surgery. The primary outcomes were thromboelastography parameters, the rates of deep vein thrombosis(DVT), and pulmonary embolism(PE). Secondary outcomes included perioperative blood loss, transfusion rates, and other perioperative complications. Results The mean calculated total blood loss in the Topical-TXA group were 832.7 ± 279.84 ml and 834.8 ± 322.94 ml in the IV-TXA group, which were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) compared with control groups at 1093.3 ± 379.7 ml. There were no significant differences between topical-TXA and IV-TXA groups in total blood loss or transfusion rates. K and R have reached a nadir from preoperative levels to 4th day postoperatively and then began to increase.α angle and CI peaked from preoperative levels to the fourth day postoperatively and then began to decline.IV-TXA significantly (p < 0.05) promoted coagulation levels compared with topical-TXA and control groups in the early postoperative period. Almost no significant differences were observed between topical-TXA and control groups in thromboelastography parameters.No significant differences were observed in the incidence of thromboembolic complications and other perioperative complications. Conclusions The topical administration of TXA had the same hemostatic effect as intravenous injection tranexamic acid. Coagulation function peaked on 4th day postoperatively and then began to decline. IV-TXA was more enhanced coagulation functions compared with topical-TXA.
