Synopsis

What was the purpose of the study (research questions, purposes, and hypotheses)?

The study aimed to assess tranexamic acid’s effects among patients undergoing cesarean delivery who were at high risk of postpartum hemorrhage.

How was the sample obtained?

 

What inclusion or exclusion criteria were used?

 

Who from the sample actually participated or contributed data (demographic or clinical profile and dropout rate)?

What methods were used to collect data (e.g., sequence, timing, types of data, and measures)?

 

 

 

How was the sample size determined?

 

 

Were patients randomly assigned to treatment groups? What are the main findings?
