Summary

This study looked at 170 adults having hip replacement surgery to find the best dose of tranexamic acid, a drug that reduces bleeding. Participants received a single dose before surgery, and researchers measured how much their hemoglobin (a blood protein) dropped. The goal is to minimize blood loss and the need for transfusions.
