Effects of intravenous tranexamic acid on ovarian reserve and intra-operative blood loss during laparoscopic cystectomy of endometriotic cyst: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Table 5 Outcomes between treatment and control group in women with unilateral ovarian cyst

	Tranexamic acid (n = 14) mean + SD or median (IQR)	Control (n = 12) mean + SD or median (IQR)	Mean or median difference	95% CI
Difference of AMH level (ng/ml)^a	0.6 ± 1.0	0.5 ± 1.2	0.10	− 0.79 to 0.99
Estimated blood loss (ml)	50 (18)	77.5 (60.8)	0	− 30.00 to 10.00
Length of hospital stay (days)	2 (0)	2 (0)	0	0 to 0
Operation time (min)	131.0 ± 38.0	116.7 ± 39.9	14.30	− 17.27 to 45.97

Note: AMH anti-Müllerian hormone, SD standard deviation, CI confidence interval
^aDifference of AMH level = pre-operative AMH-post-operative AMH
*The test of significance for pilot trials is not helpful as such studies are not designed for statistical significance
