IL6 and deep vein thrombosis: We compared surgical duration, total blood loss (TBL), hidden blood loss (HBL), transfusion rates, incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), length of hospital stay, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, and 7, and visual analog scale (VAS) scores.<h4>Results</h4>The TXA group exhibited significantly lower TBL (981.74 ± 451.14 mL vs. 1206.27 ± 408.22 mL, p = 0.002), HBL (890.94 ± 409.99 mL vs. 1104.39 ± 412.06 mL, p = 0.003), and transfusion rates (32.3% vs. 51.4%, p = 0.037) compared with the control group.
