    Background. Recently, intra-articular tranexamic acid (IA-TXA) application has become a popular method for perioperative blood\nloss (PBL) reduction in total knee replacement (TKR). Nevertheless, through our knowledge, no previous studies had shown the\ncorrelation perioperative factors and the risk of excessive PBL or need of blood transfusion (BT) after IA-TXA. Materials and\nMethods. A retrospective study was conducted in patients underwent 299 primary TKRs, using IA-TXA, during 2-year period\n(2013-2014). Patient�s characteristic and perioperative data were reviewed and collected. PBL was measured as total hemoglobin loss\n(THL), estimated total blood loss (ETBL), and drainage volume per kg (DV/kg). Excessive PBL was defined as PBL that exceeded\n90th percentile. Results. From multivariate analysis, low preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) level and body mass index (BMI) were the\nsignificant predictors of postoperative BT (
