    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The California Prehospital Antifibrinolytic Therapy (Cal-PAT) study seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) use in the civilian prehospital and in hospital setting in cases of traumatic hemorrhagic shock.
    Detailed Description
    The Cal-PAT study is a multi-centered, prospective, observational cohort study. From March 2015 to July 2017, patients ≥ 18-years-old who sustained blunt or penetrating trauma with signs of hemorrhagic shock identified were considered for TXA treatment by first responders in the prehospital setting and physicians in hospital. A control group was formed of patients seen in the five years prior to data collection cessation (June 2012 to July 2017) at each receiving center who were not administered TXA. Control group patients were selected through propensity score matching based on gender, age, injury severity scores, and mechanism of injury. The primary outcome measured was mortality. Secondary outcomes measured included the total blood products transfused, the hospital and intensive care unit length of stay, and the incidence of known adverse events associated with TXA.
