%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>This comprehensive review was conducted to assess the effects of tranexamic acid (TXA) on blood loss, venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk, and wound complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Additionally, it sought to evaluate the effects of various TXA dosages, modes of administration, and combinations with other antifibrinolytic drug.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>In search of systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the use of TXA in THA patients, we searched extensively through databases including Scopus, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, the Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. We discovered 23 meta-analyses covering 32,442 patients overall that fulfilled our study criteria, spanning the period from the creation of these databases until May 2023.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>This comprehensive review's meta-analyses, which together examined over 35,000 patients, repeatedly demonstrated how TXA administration during THA successfully lowers perioperative blood loss and the need for transfusions. TXA reduced total blood loss by an average of 151-370 ml, postoperative hemoglobin levels by 0.5-1.1 g/dL, and transfusion rates by 19-26% on average when compared to control groups. The information gathered did not indicate that using TXA significantly increased the risk of VTE or wound complications. When comparing different TXA doses, administration techniques, or its use in conjunction with other anti-fibrinolytic therapies, no discernible differences were found in terms of efficacy or safety outcomes.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The comprehensive review clearly indicates that TXA improves THA outcomes without increasing the risk of adverse events by lowering blood loss and the requirement for transfusions. This insightful information can help surgeons decide whether to use TXA during THA procedures.
