The purpose of the study was to (1) determine whether the use of non-aspirin agents due to a self-reported aspirin or NSAID allergy was associated with a higher incidence of VTE and (2) determine the rate of true allergic reactions in patients who reported an allergy but still received aspirin.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prospectively collected data from 45,171 patients who underwent primary TJA between 2000 and 2019 were reviewed. Patients who reported an allergy to aspirin or NSAIDs were identified (n = 823). Using a validated VTE risk calculator, each patient was assigned a risk score based on 26 comorbidities. Bleeding complications, VTEs that occurred within 90 days postoperatively, and allergic reactions were collected as end points. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine the factors associated with VTE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall incidence of aspirin or NSAID allergy was 1.8%. Only 80 of 267 patients (30%) reported an allergy to only aspirin and still received aspirin. Compared with patients who received aspirin without a history of allergy (n = 17,648), patients who received non-aspirin thromboprophylaxis due to allergy (n = 383) had a higher incidence of VTE (2.87% versus 0.24%, p &lt; 0.001). On multivariable regression, these patients had an 8-fold increase in VTE risk (adjusted odds ratio, 7.94; 95% confidence interval, 2.86 to 22.07; p &lt; 0.001). The incidence of true allergic reactions to aspirin among those with a reported allergy was 1.8% (number needed to harm = 55). No patients developed anaphylaxis or severe hypersensitivity reactions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with a self-reported allergy to aspirin or NSAIDs were at a significantly increased risk for VTE if they received non-aspirin thromboprophylaxis agents following TJA.
