Objective   To compare clinical outcomes for patients who underwent osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) based on the presence or absence of one or more self-reported drug allergies.Design   Prospective data were collected from 245 consecutive patients after OCA of the knee from one large academic institution. Patient-reported allergies were obtained via chart review. Patient-reported outcome measures, including activities of daily living of the Knee Outcome Survey (KOS-ADL), Marx Activity Scale, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain were all collected. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for each outcome was quantified using a distribution-based method. Independent t tests were used to compare patient-reported outcome measures between those with and without self-reported allergies, while chi-square analysis of association was used to compare rates of MCID achievement.Results   Of 245 patients included, 83 (33.9%) reported having at least one drug allergy at the time of OCA. There were no statistically significant differences with regard to patient demographics, including age, body mass index, gender, or sports participation between those with and without a reported allergy. Similarly, there were no significant differences found between baseline preoperative patient-reported outcomes. Overall, both cohorts demonstrated a significant improvement from baseline scores at 2 years postoperatively. There were no differences found between any patient-reported outcome at 2 years postoperatively. The presence of at least one self-reported drug allergy was not a significant risk factor for failing to achieve the MCID in any specific outcome measure.Conclusions   The presence of one or more drug allergy was not associated with worse patient-reported outcomes or lower rates of clinically significant outcome improvement after OCA.
