Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed between the two groups and results were analyzed in matched cases. The primary outcome was postoperative blood loss within 3 days after surgery.

After PSM, 196 patients in the high-dose group and 196 patients in the low-dose group were matched and included in the final analysis. Postoperative blood loss in 3 days after surgery was 940\u2005mL (710\u20131,010\u2005mL) in the low-dose group and 695\u2005mL (620\u2013860\u2005mL) in the high-dose group.
