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 6 Outcomes between treatment and control groups in women with bilateral ovarian cysts

	Tranexamic acid (n = 6) mean + SD or median (IQR)	Control (n = 8) mean + SD or median (IQR)	Mean or median difference	95% CI
Difference of AMH level (ng/ml)^a	1.3 ± 1.0	1.1 ± 1.0	0.22	− 0.98 to 1.42
Estimated blood loss (ml)	100 (75)	150 (175)	− 50.00	− 150.00 to 50.00
Length of hospital stay (days)	2 (0)	2 (0)	0.00	− 1.00 to 1.00
Operation time (min)^a	156.7 ± 60.9	200.4 ± 76.5	− 43.71	− 126.58 to 39.16

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
