Table 2

Postoperative hematologic variables and blood drainage.

	No TXA (24)	TXA (24)	P value
Post-op Hb (mg/dL)	10.2 ± 1.1	11.3 ± 1.2	0.003
Drop of Hb (mg/dL)	2.8 ± 0.8	2.1 ± 0.8	0.006
Post-op Hct (L/L)	30.5 ± 3.2	34.0 ± 4.2	0.002
Drop of Hct (L/L)	8.0 ± 2.5	6.1 ± 2.6	0.012
Total Hemovac drain (ml)	263.4 ± 129.3	203.5 ± 84.2	0.064

TXA = tranexamic acid; Hb = hemoglobin; Hct = hematocrit; Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation.
