What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of blood loss in ml.

    Hbloss=BV X (Hbi - Hbe) X 0.001 + Hbt Hbi - hemoglobin level before the surgery ) gram X liter-1(. Hbe - hemoglobin level 3 days after the surgery ( gram X liter-1). Hbt - The amount of hemoglobin that was given in the blood transfusion (gram). Hbloss - Change of hemoglobin loss.

    After calculating the amount of loss of hemoglobin, the volume of blood lost can be found:

    Blood loss = 1000 X Hbloss/ Hbi

    Evaluation of blood loss will be through:

    1. Comparing hemoglobin level before and after surgery and calculation of quantitative Change of hemoglobin loss.

    2 .Registration evaluating blood loss at the end of surgery 3. Collecting and recording blood drain. 4. Tracking Blood Transfusion. Of course we collect the data: assessment of bleeding in the analysis, the number of blood units given, the amount of blood collected drain

    Measured: up to 13 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tranexamic Acid (TXA) treatment in people with Femur Surgery, run by HaEmek Medical Center, Israel at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Evaluation of blood loss in ml. (time frame: up to 13 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
