Review question: In adults having primary elective joint replacement, what is the clinical and cost effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) for minimising blood loss from surgery?</h3></div><div id="niceng157er7.s1.2"><h3>1.2. Introduction</h3><p>Significant blood loss may occur during joint replacement surgery. Treatments to reduce the blood loss offer advantages to patients, reducing the need for blood products, which are expensive, and reducing recovery time and improving the recovery experience. Tranexamic acid has been utilised both systemically and topically to reduce blood loss in joint replacement surgery. There is currently no agreed national standard on which method of delivery is the best. This review seeks to assess whether tranexamic acid is effective and what the most effective method of delivery is.</p></div><div id="niceng157er7.s1.3"><h3>1.3.

Following a review of all of the studies included in the clinical review, 36 reported transfusion as an outcome with 2 or more relevant comparators. Four of these studies were 3- arm trials such that there were 44 pairwise comparisons in total.

The study was chosen as it was the only European study that was graded as having a low risk of bias. Therefore it was considered best to represent a UK population.

The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="niceng157er7.s1.7.1"><h4>1.7.1. Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="niceng157er7.s1.7.1.1"><h5>1.7.1.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The critical outcomes chosen by the committee were mortality, adverse events, transfusion, quality of life and surgical bleeding. The important outcomes were postoperative anaemia, postoperative bleeding, and length of stay. The outcomes that represent blood loss are transfusion, surgical bleeding, postoperative anaemia, and postoperative bleeding. Surgical bleeding and postoperative bleeding were often reported within the same outcome, blood loss measured via change in haemoglobin and total blood loss. The adverse events associated with tranexamic acid use are postoperative thrombosis such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and acute myocardial infarction. Therefore the evidence review sought to assess the possible positives of tranexamic acid treatment in joint replacement surgery around reduction in blood loss and consequently reduction in transfusions, with the possible negative postoperative thrombosis outcomes.</p></div><div id="niceng157er7.s1.7.1.2"><h5>1.7.1.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The overall outcome quality ranged from high to very low. More outcomes were assessed as low or very low quality than moderate or high quality.</p><p>The outcome quality was often downgraded due to risk of bias because studies that did not state an adequate method of randomisation or gave an adequate description of allocation concealment. This could have led to results that favoured tranexamic acid treatment. There were many studies where participants and surgeons were not blinded to the treatment. This was often not considered a risk of bias where outcomes were assessed objectively.</p><p>Many outcomes were found to be inconsistent and also a smaller number showed imprecision in the meta-analysis results. This could be explained by the tranexamic acid treatments in the RCTs which were allocated to intervention groups based on route of administration rather than the specific joint being replaced, timing of administration, and dose. These aspects were investigated singly in subgroup analysis where heterogeneity was found. None were found alone to explain the heterogeneity but there could well have been more complex interactions between these factors that led to not only inconsistency but also imprecision.</p></div><div id="niceng157er7.s1.7.1.3"><h5>1.7.1.3. Benefits and harms</h5><p>107 studies covering 13 comparisons were found.</p><p>All 3 routes of tranexamic acid administration were compared alone or in one case, in combination, to no treatment or placebo. These results consistently found a clinically important benefit of tranexamic acid in the blood loss and also in terms of the number of people requiring transfusions. In all cases there was no clinically important difference in DVT between the treatment groups.</p><p>The 3 routes of tranexamic acid administration were compared against each other singly. When topical (intra-articular) and oral were each compared to IV administration, all outcomes indicated no clinically important difference. Topical (intra-articular) versus oral administration found no clinically important difference for all outcomes except for transfusion which indicated 18 fewer people per thousand requiring a transfusion.</p><p>The last group of analyses compared multiple routes of administration of tranexamic acid to a single route of administration. IV combined with topical (intra-articular) versus IV alone found no clinical difference for 5 outcomes though the transfusion outcome indicated a benefit for combination treatment. IA/topical combined with oral versus IA/topical alone was reported by 1 RCT and this indicated a clinically important benefit of the combination treatment in terms of 4 blood loss outcomes and no difference in DVT. IV combined with IA/topical versus IA/topical alone found a benefit for combination treatment in blood loss via change in haemoglobin and in number of people transfused but no difference in total blood loss.</p><p>103 of the RCTs investigated knee or hip joint replacement and 4 RCTs investigated shoulder joint replacement. These 4 studies covered the IA/topical versus placebo and IV versus placebo comparisons. Thus the 11 other comparisons presented in the evidence review did not have include data from people having shoulder joint replacement. The 4 studies that included people having shoulder joint replacement indicated tranexamic acid was effective versus placebo but did not give an indication of its effectiveness when utilised across multiple routes.</p><p>Some benefits and no harms were found when multiple treatment routes were utilised versus single routes. The committee spoke about a reduction in transfusions found in all 3 comparisons to support combination treatment and thought this to be a compelling factor. In terms of the comparisons, all of the combination routes included IA/topical and the committee were mindful of this. The committee made a recommendation to offer IV in combination with IA/topical tranexamic acid in people having primary elective hip or knee joint replacement surgery.</p><p>For those having elective shoulder replacement the committee made a separate consider recommendation. While there is evidence showing a benefit of tranexamic acid in people having primary elective shoulder replacement there was no evidence for combination treatment. However the committee agreed to extrapolate the advantages of combination therapy found in the hip and knee replacement population to the shoulder replacement population. This decision was based on the basic similarities of each form of joint replacement surgery and despite shoulder replacement not yielding as high blood loss as hip or knee replacement surgery it is important to reduce blood loss where possible. The evidence did not show a reduction in transfusions for shoulder replacement and the committee noted that in their experience there are many fewer transfusions in shoulder replacement surgery. They agreed that reducing bleeding also reduces bruising and postoperative haematoma. There were no adverse events associated with this treatment in any of the evidence and no overt economic pressures given the use of tranexamic acid via a single route is standard care and so the committee agreed to include shoulder replacement surgery in the recommendation. With this in mind the committee agreed to make a consider recommendation.</p><p>The BNF states tranexamic acid is indicated for local fibrinolysis via oral or slow intravenous injection with dosage stated. It does not mention usage topically or give a dosage for this. The committee are satisfied it is a safe and effective treatment topically and in combination through the large evidence base and their own experience. The committee agree that topical (intra-articular) could be given after the final washout of the wound and before wound closure.</p><p>The committee noted the BNF indicates people with mild to moderate renal impairment require a reduced dose of IV tranexamic acid. The amount of dose reduction is according to serum creatinine level and is listed in the manufacturer&#x02019;s summary of product characteristics (SPC). The absorption is uncertain via topical (intra-articular) usage and consequently, only IV is recommended for this sub-group. Tranexamic acid is contraindicated for people with severe renal impairment.</p></div></div><div id="niceng157er7.s1.7.2"><h4>1.7.2. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>The studies in the economic review included 2 cost utility analyses and 1 cost comparison. The cost utility analyses only differed by site of joint replacement, otherwise they were from the same author and used the same methodology. Neither of these studies presented ICERs, these were calculated from the incremental costs and health related quality of life values presented in the papers. The results from the first cost utility analysis suggested that for people with total knee replacements (TKR) placebo was not cost effective (&#x000a3;63,428 per QALY gained) compared to topical (intra-articular) tranexamic acid. The results from the second cost utility analysis suggested that for people with total hip replacements (THR) placebo was cost effective (&#x000a3;11,509 per QALY gained) compared to topical (intra-articular) tranexamic acid. The interpretation of the ICER for these studies was the cost per QALY of the placebo (as opposed to the intervention) because tranexamic acid was cost saving but also gave less improved outcomes compared to placebo. Therefore the incremental values fall into the south-west quadrant on the cost effectiveness plane, which alters interpretation to the cost per QALY of the comparator compared to the intervention.</p><p>The results of the cost utility analyses should be treated with caution due to large differences in baseline quality of life (EQ-5D) between the study arms, despite being within-trial RCTs. For the study that concerned the THR population, the baseline EQ-5D for the placebo group was 0.205 whereas the value was 0.34 (a difference of 0.135) for the tranexamic acid group. The higher baseline value in the tranexamic acid group may have left less room for improvement in health related quality of life compared to the placebo group. Although it was not stated in the paper, it may be for this reason that the ICER was not presented in either paper.</p><p>The cost comparison study showed similar results to the 2 cost utility analyses, suggesting that using tranexamic acid over placebo or no tranexamic acid was cost saving. However, there were no studies that compared the cost of administering tranexamic acid by different methods. Additionally, all included studies only covered hip and knee replacements, there were no studies included which looked at the cost of tranexamic acid during shoulder surgery.</p><p>Current practice with tranexamic acid is varied, although for hip and knee replacements IV is often used in combination with topical (intra-articular). There was notion that oral is less favoured on the NHS. For shoulder replacements, use of topical (intra-articular) may be less common than for hip and knee replacements. Dosage use, and therefore costs are variable.</p><p>Given there was evidence presented for the clinical benefit of combination therapies and there was a lack of economic evidence for them, an original network meta-analysis with cost comparison was conducted. No studies with a primary elective shoulder replacement population were includable. In agreement with the committee, placebo and no treatment were excluded from the analysis given that using any form of tranexamic acid is established as current practice.</p><p>The results showed that average intervention costs were cheapest for oral and most expensive for IA and IV (oral, &#x000a3;0.27; IV, &#x000a3;2.25; IA and oral, &#x000a3;2.31; IA, &#x000a3;2.82; IA and IV, &#x000a3;5.34). The committee noted that the median dose used for combination therapy arms was generally greater than the dosage used for single therapies.</p><p>The results of the network meta-analysis for blood transfusions confirmed the committee&#x02019;s thoughts that the combination therapies were associated with a lower probability of a transfusion event occurring. Allogeneic blood transfusions carry a significant cost; transfusing 2 units of blood has an overall cost of &#x000a3;351.30. Once the cost and probability of a transfusion was added onto the cost of each intervention, the combination therapies were the least costly interventions (IA, &#x000a3;31.13; IV, &#x000a3;28.63; oral, &#x000a3;24.70; IA and IV, &#x000a3;14.34; IA and oral, &#x000a3;7.76). A sensitivity analysis showed that the overall costs were most sensitive to the cost of a blood transfusion. However, running the cost comparison with 1 unit transfused per transfusion event (instead of 2 units in the base case analysis), still did not change the order of cost. The results were less sensitive to the mean intervention costs.</p><p>The results indicated that topical (intra-articular) in combination with oral had the lowest probability of a transfusion event and was also the cheapest. However, the committee were keen to note that the intervention was linked to the network by a single study that had a high risk of bias in the clinical review. Furthermore, use of oral tranexamic acid is off label and generally not part of current practice, use of topical (intra-articular) tranexamic acid is also off label but it is part of current practice. As both methods of administration are off licence, the committee agreed they did not want to make a recommendation for topical (intra-articular) in combination with oral. Although as previously noted, topical (intra-articular) tranexamic acid is off license; its use in combination with IV tranexamic acid is not uncommon in current practice. Given the clinical and economic evidence in favour of this combination, the committee decided to make an offer for IV in combination with topical (intra-articular). There was discussion about the higher median dosage used in the topical (intra-articular) with intravenous method that was recommended. The median dosage for each tranexamic acid administration method in the network was:
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>2.00 grams for topical (intra-articular)</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>1.54 grams for intravenous</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>3.07 grams for oral</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>3.02 grams for topical (intra-articular) and intravenous</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>3.50 grams for topical (intra-articular) and oral</div></li></ul>
</p><p>Although there was suggestion that this could have been a contributing factor to the results, the committee still felt the evidence was strong enough to offer topical (intra-articular) in combination with IV. The median dosage was considered over the mean as the mean was skewed towards higher values. The committee discussed the total dosage they use in current practice, which varied between 2-3g when combining IV and topical (intra-articular). The median dosage of topical (intra-articular) in combination with IV study arms included in the network roughly equated to the upper end of dosage discussed by the committee. Therefore the committee agreed that dosage should not exceed 3g in total. It was noted that the dosage of topical (intra-articular) used in the combination arms was generally between 1-2g.</p><p>The NMA and cost comparison analysis is directly applicable to hip and knee replacements as the clinical data concerned only these populations. Although no evidence was available for tranexamic acid use for shoulder replacements, the committee agreed that the analysis could support a weaker &#x02018;consider&#x02019; recommendation for the shoulder population. This was done on the basis that although blood loss may be slightly less for shoulder replacements, there is still benefit in reducing bleeding. The recommendation is likely to lead to an increase in topical (intra-articular) tranexamic acid use in shoulder replacements. Overall, it is expected that the recommendation will be cost saving for shoulder replacements (although the savings will be relatively less than for hip and knee replacements). This is because avoided transfusions drive cost savings and shoulder replacements generally require less transfusions than knee/hip replacements.</p></div><div id="niceng157er7.s1.7.3"><h4>1.7.3. Other considerations</h4><p>The committee discussed any potential interaction between the use of tranexamic acid and venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis. They agreed there is no evidence that intra-perative tranexamic acid increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Tranexamic acid is only offered during the surgical period and the effects of this will have worn off by the time pharmacological VTE prophylaxis is started postoperatively. The committee are also aware that if VTE prophylaxis is given preoperatively it is stopped ahead of surgery. Therefore, the committee concluded there is unlikely to be a risk of harm with both tranexamic acid and VTE pharmacological prophylaxis being used.</p></div></div></div><div id="niceng157er7.rl.r1"><h2 id="_niceng157er7_rl_r1_">References</h2><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="niceng157er7.ref1">Abdel

<p>Studies not meeting any of the search criteria above will be excluded. Studies published before 2003, abstract-only studies and studies from low or middle-income countries (e.g. most non-OECD countries) or the USA will also be excluded.</p>

<b>Where there is discretion</b></p>
<p>The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question, in discussion with the guideline committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include health economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies. All studies excluded on the basis of applicability or methodological limitations will be listed with explanation in the excluded health economic studies appendix below.</p>
<p>The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies.</p>
<p><i>Setting:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>UK NHS (most applicable).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly public health insurance systems (for example, France, Germany, Sweden).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly private health insurance systems (for example, Switzerland).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies set in non-OECD countries or in the USA will be excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Health economic study type:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Cost&#x02013;utility analysis (most applicable).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Other type of full economic evaluation (cost&#x02013;benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost&#x02013;consequences analysis).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Comparative cost analysis.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Non-comparative cost analyses including cost-of-illness studies will be excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Year of analysis:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The more recent the study, the more applicable it will be.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies published in 2003 or later but that depend on unit costs and resource data entirely or predominantly from before 2003 will be rated as &#x02018;Not applicable&#x02019;.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies published before 2003 will be excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul>
<i>Quality and relevance of effectiveness data used in the health economic analysis:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The more closely the clinical effectiveness data used in the health economic analysis match with the outcomes of the studies included in the clinical review the more useful the analysis will be for decision-making in the guideline.</div></li></ul></p>
