TXA in PPH

The Post-partum haemorrhage page has been updated with additional information about the role of TXA, following the recent publication of the WOMAN trial.

Apart from the trial having a study population mostly from relatively resource poor health systems (yes, I include the UK in this group), it also has the longest list of authors I have ever seen (possibly around 300 – I gave up counting). This would equate to approximately 10-15 words of the manuscript for each author.
