Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Total perioperative blood loss (overt and occult blood loss);Postoperative Blood Transfusion Status (Number of Recipients, Volume Transfused, Type of Blood Transfused);

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Hematological parameters: Decrease in hemoglobin levels on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3; decrease in hematocrit levels;Fibrinolytic Markers: D-dimer and fibrin degradation products (FDP) on postoperative days 1–3;Inflammatory markers: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) on postoperative days 1-3;Postoperative Joint Function Recovery Indicators;Safety-related secondary endpoints: Incidence of venous thromboembolic events (DVT, PE) Incidence of serious adverse events Incidence of TXA-related adverse reactions Incidence of local hemostatic material-related adverse reactions Abnormalities in complete blood count and liver/kidney function parameters;
