A multivariable analysis showed a nonsignificant reduction in the risk of hematoma (hazard ratio [HR] 0.81; P = .51) and seroma (HR 0.88; P = .68) in patients who received TXA. Furthermore, the time to hematoma was significantly longer (2 vs 1 day, P = .03), as well as the time to drain removal (7 vs 6 days, P &amp;lt; .001) for patients treated with TXA. However, the time to discharge was significantly shorter (4 vs 5 days, P &amp;lt; .001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intraoperative administration of TXA was associated with a nonsignificant reduction in the risk of hematoma and seroma, suggesting a limited clinical effect in patients undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction.
