Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose: The study aimed to determine whether intravenous administration of tanexamic acid (TXA) before shoulder arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery can improve arthroscopy visual clarity. Methods: This is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized and placebo-controlled study. From May 2016 to April 2018, patients requiring arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the TXA group that received 1000mg tranexamic acid intravenously 10 minutes before surgery or the placebo group that received the same volume of plain saline. Patients with pre-existing liver/renal disease, coagulopathy, or concurrent use of anti-coagulation medications were excluded. The visual clarity was rated by a numeric rating scale from grade

1(poor) to grade 3(clear) every 15 minutes throughout the surgery. Secondary outcomes included estimated perioperative blood loss, operative time, degree of shoulder swelling, postoperative subjective pain score, inpatient duration and associated comorbidities were recorded. Both parametric and nonparametric methods were used for statistical analysis.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Inclusion criteria were Patients who were diagnosed with rotator cuff tear and failure of conservative treatment for more than 3 months. The tear size was measured by MRI and must be repairable. We excluded patients who did not provide permit, those had history of coagulopathy, who were under anticoagulation therapy before surgery, who had abnormal coagulation profile (prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time) before surgery, who had renal or liver disorder, those who had uncontrolled hypertension (systolic pressure \>180 mmHg), or who were allergy to local anesthetic agent or Tranexamic acid.

Study Groups

Patients received Tranexamic acid

The patient was assigned as intervention group, TXA will be aspirated into a syringe. In TXA group, TXA 1000 mg (20 mL) was given intravenously 10 minutes before surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tranexamic Acid 100Mg/Ml Inj Vil 10Ml

Intervention Type DRUG

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic analog of the amino acid lysine which acts by competitively blocking the plasminogen lysine-binding site and inhibiting fibrinolysis. Several studies showed that TXA could reduce both blood loss and the amount of blood transfusion after shoulder arthroplasty surgeries.

Patients received same volume of saline

In the control group, the patient received 20ml saline intravenous also 10 min before surgery.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Normal saline is a mixture of sodium chloride in water and has a number of uses in medicine. We use the same volume of normal saline as placebo.
