This study suggests that the effect of TXA on rebleeding is modified by time to treatment, providing a protective, albeit clinically non-relevant, effect only when started after 6 h. No difference in functional outcome was seen. Routine TXA treatment in the aneurysmal SAH population, even within a specified time frame, is not recommended to improve functional outcome.
