How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Calculated Blood Loss (time frame: until postoperative day 5). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
