The 216 oxycodone allergy patients had lower odds of receiving oxycodone (OR 0.17, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), higher odds of tramadol (OR 3.01, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and tapentadol (OR 2.87, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), but 91 (42.3%) still received oxycodone and 19 (8.8%) morphine. The 84 with oxycodone intolerance patients had lower odds of receiving oxycodone (OR 0.23, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), higher odds of fentanyl (OR 3.6, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and tramadol (OR 3.35, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), but 42 (50%) still received oxycodone.
