Overview

Technical summary

WOMAN Trial Collaborators. Lancet 2017;389(10084):2105-2116. doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(17)30638-4. PMID 28456509. PMC5446563 is the open-access version of record. An erratum (Lancet 2017;389(10084):2104, PMID 28483296) corrected the tranexamic acid concentration in the procedures section, which gave "10 mg/mL" where "100 mg/mL" was meant. The corrected text is online as of 5 May 2017, and the erratum text corrects only that concentration. This atlas reads the corrected version. Funding in the abstract includes Pfizer, which makes the tranexamic acid product used in the trial.
