Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
For randomization, the block randomization method will be used, so that at first, blocks of four will be prepared in the Excel software as (AABB) (BBAA) (ABBA) (BAAB) (ABAB) (BABA). A will be the intervention group and B will be the control group. Then one of the blocks will be randomly selected and based on the sequence of letters in the selected block, the eligible people will be assigned to treatment groups. This random process of selecting blocks and assigning people to treatment groups will continue until the desired sample size is reached. The preparation of random allocation sequences of two intervention groups and placing them in closed (sealed) envelopes and numbering with a 5-digit serial number will be done by a third person who is not involved in the design of the study.
All envelopes have a 5-digit serial number, which will be opened after recording background information, and the sample will be divided into two intervention and control groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Blinding:
This study will be double-blind, so that the outcome evaluator and the subject will be unaware of the status of assigning people to the study groups. For the study subjects, before random allocation, it will be explained how the work process is, and they may receive one of the two treatments randomly, and the treatment to be used will not be known to the person in advance; in such a way that it will not be possible for the patient to distinguish them from each other. Therefore, the pat. For the study subjects, before random allocation, it will be explained how the work process is, and they may receive one of the two treatments randomly, and the treatment to be used will not be known to the person in advance; in such a way that it will not be possible for the patient to distinguish them from each other. Therefore, the patient will be unaware of which group he is in. Also, the outcome evaluator will not know about the status of assigning people to the study groups.ient will be unaware of which group he is in.

Primary outcomes

Description
To check the amount of bleeding, the amount of hemoglobin and hematocrit will be measured before the surgery and 24 hours after the surgery and will be compared with the value measured before the study. The amount of pack cell received by the patients and the duration of their stay in the hospital will be compared between the control and intervention groups. Possible side effects, including venous thrombus and infection, will be investigated and compared between the two groups
Timepoint
The amount of hemoglobin and hematocrit will be measured before surgery and 24 hours after surgery and will be compared with the value measured before the study
Method of measurement
Based on similar results by Jannes et al., it was shown that the use of tranexamic acid reduced the average bleeding by 0.86 ml/cm2 compared to the control group. Considering the results of this study to calculate the minimum required sample size and using the formula to calculate the average difference of bleeding, taking into account the first type error of 5% and the study power of 90%, the minimum sample size for each group will be 47 people. In other words, a total of 94 people will be included in the study.The method of information collection and the specifications of the information collection tool:Based on the designed questionnaire, all patient information, including background and demographic information, will be collected through file review and questioning of patients. Information about outcomes will also be recorded.
