Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported, "patients were prospectively randomised into one group given tranexamic acid ... and another group not given antifibrinolytic therapy". |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported |
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Not reported |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | For primary and secondary haemorrhage: % analysed: 220/220 (100%) |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to permit judgement |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Patient baseline characteristics in the two groups were not reported so possibility of inexplicable differences between two groups. |
