Intravenous tranexamic acid as an adjunct haemostat to ornipressin during open myomectomy. A randomized double blind placebo controlled trial

Table 2 Outcomes in both groups

Continuous variables	Group		P
	Ornipressin only (n = 17)	Tranexamic acid and ornipressin (n = 17)
	Mean (std)	Mean (std)

Intra operative time (min) t − 0.23; df = 32; P = 1.000	50.1	50.1	1.000
Post-operative stay (h) (t − 1.69, P = 0.100)	67.88 (22.98)	55.03 (21.22)	0.100
Post operation HB	10.2 (2.1)	10.3 (1.9)	0.939

^aThe two sample Wilcoxon rank sum test for differences in quantity of blood loss between the ornipressin and the ornipressin plus tranexamic arms showed no evidence of statistically significant difference. Data were log transformed
