About this study

Official title: Alteration of Thrombelastography and Hemostatic Function in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty With Intra-articular Tranexamic Acid Administration

The main aim and scope of this study is making comparison about the thrombelastography and coagulation function in patients before and after the total knee arthroplasty with intra-articular tranexamic acid administration. The results may identify the influence of the intra-articular tranexamic acid administration on the relative coagulability monitoring.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tranexamic acidDrug

    During the total knee arthroplasty, the patients received a 2-g retrograde injection of tranexamic acid through the drain after closure, with subsequent clamping of the drain for 6 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. R time

    R time is the period from the initiation of the thrombelastography test till the beginning of the clot formation.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  2. R time

    R time is the period from the initiation of the thrombelastography test till the beginning of the clot formation.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  3. K time

    K time is the period from the start of the clot formation to the curve reaches amplitude of 20mm in the thrombelastography.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  4. K time

    K time is the period from the start of the clot formation to the curve reaches amplitude of 20mm in the thrombelastography.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  5. Alpha angle

    Alpha angle is the angle between the baseline and the tangent to the thrombelastography curve through the starting point of coagulation.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  6. Alpha angle

    Alpha angle is the angle between the baseline and the tangent to the thrombelastography curve through the starting point of coagulation.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  7. Maximal amplitude (MA)

    Maximal amplitude (MA) is a direct measure of the highest point on the thrombelastography curve and represents clot strength.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  8. Maximal amplitude (MA)

    Maximal amplitude (MA) is a direct measure of the highest point on the thrombelastography curve and represents clot strength.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  9. Clot index (CI)

    Clot index (CI) represents the haemostasis profile and is calculated based on R time, K time, Alpha angle and MA parameters.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  10. Clot index (CI)

    Clot index (CI) represents the haemostasis profile and is calculated based on R time, K time, Alpha angle and MA parameters.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Prothrombin time (PT)

    Prothrombin time (PT) is one of the parameters which reflects the coagulation function.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  2. Prothrombin time (PT)

    Prothrombin time (PT) is one of the parameters which reflects the coagulation function.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  3. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)

    Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is one of the parameters which reflects the coagulation function.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  4. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)

    Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is one of the parameters which reflects the coagulation function.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  5. Hemoglobin in g/L

    Hemoglobin is a parameter which reflects the blood loss or anemia.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  6. Hemoglobin in g/L

    Hemoglobin is a parameter which reflects the blood loss or anemia.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  7. Red blood cell specific volume (HCT)

    Red blood cell specific volume (HCT) is a parameter which reflects the ratio of the red blood cells in the whole blood.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  8. Red blood cell specific volume (HCT)

    Red blood cell specific volume (HCT) is a parameter which reflects the ratio of the red blood cells in the whole blood.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  9. Fibrinogen in g/L

    Fibrinogen is one of the parameters which reflects the coagulation function.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  10. Fibrinogen in g/L

    Fibrinogen is one of the parameters which reflects the coagulation function.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

  11. Platelet count in 10^9g/L

    Plstelet count is a parameter which reflects the amount of the platelet in the whole blood.

    Measured: day0 (pre-operative)

  12. Platelet count in 10^9g/L

    Plstelet count is a parameter which reflects the amount of the platelet in the whole blood.

    Measured: day3 (post-operative)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthropathy of Knee, run by RenJi Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Lin Du (86-13817371926, sato316@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

R time (time frame: day0 (pre-operative)). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Aug 2022.
