ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The role of tranexamic acid (TXA) in controlling blood loss during spine surgery remains unclear. With the publication of new randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we conducted a meta-analysis to determine the safety and efficacy of TXA in spine surgery.METHODS:
PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched for relevant studies through 2022. Only RCTs were eligible for this study. The extracted data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software for meta-analysis.RESULTS:
Twenty RCTs including 1497 patients undergoing spine surgery were included in this systematic evaluation. Compared with the control group, TXA significantly reduced total blood loss (mean difference [MD] = - 218.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] = - 309.77 to - 128.14, P < 0.00001), perioperative blood loss (MD = - 90.54, 95% CI = - 139.33 to - 41.75, P = 0.0003), postoperative drainage (MD = - 102.60, 95% CI = - 139.51 to - 65.70, P < 0.00001)ï¼reduced hospital stay (MD = - 1.42, 95% CI = - 2.71 to - 0.14, P = 0.03), reduced total blood transfusion volume (MD = - 551.06, 95% CI = - 755.90 to - 346.22, P < 0.00001), and international normalized ratio (MD = -0.03, 95% CI = -0.04 to -0.02, P < 0.00001).CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the meta-analysis of 20 RCTs, we demonstrated that TXA reduces blood loss in open spine surgery, decreases transfusion rates, and shortens hospital stays. The TXA administration during the perioperative period does not increase the incidence of postoperative complications.Palavras-chave
