This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing mortality in emergency trauma cases. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials were conducted, focusing on TXA's impact compared to a placebo. The main outcome was 1-month mortality. Seven trials met the criteria, and the results showed an 11% decrease in death risk at 1 month with TXA use. There was also a reduction in 24-hour mortality, and no significant increase in vascular occlusive events was observed.
