TXA significantly reduced 24-hour mortality in trauma patients at risk of hemorrhage in both prehospital and inpatient settings.
Thirty studies were analyzed, with 24 included in the meta-analysis, showing notable effects of tranexamic acid on survival rates.
The review employed Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology to evaluate TXA's effectiveness.
Recommendations support routine use of tranexamic acid for patients with severe hypotension, though dosing regimens showed significant variability.
