:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) risk among patients with a diagnosis of nontyphoidal salmonellosis (NTS) in an Asian population. The risk was analyzed in a cohort of 17,855 patients newly diagnosed with NTS and 71,420 individuals without NTS using a hospitalization claim dataset. Both groups were matched by age, sex, and index date as an original analysis. A Cox proportional-hazards regression model was applied to estimate the risk of DVT and PE, accounting for any competing event (death). With a follow-up of 4.94 (±3.93) years in the NTS group and 6.30 (±3.67) years in the non-NTS group, the adjusted subhazard ratios (SHRs) of DVT and PE were 1.83 (95% CI 1.44-2.31) and 1.84 (95% CI 1.30-2.60). The NTS group had an increased risk of DVT and PE compared with the control group in all of the age subgroups. Stratified analyses showed that patients aged 18-39 years in the NTS group had significantly higher DVT and PE risks compared with patients of the same age in the non-NTS group (aHR, 5.95; 95% CI, 2.22-15.91 for DVT; aHR 6.72; 95% CI, 2.23-20.30 for PE). The P-value for interaction between age and exposure of NTS is <0.001 for DVT and 0.004 for PE in our sub-group analyses. The findings were cross-validated by a re-analysis with propensity score matching (PSM), and that revealed consistent results. Despite of low absolute risk, clinicians should be aware that patients with an NTS hospitalization history is at increased risk for VTE especially when assessing patients coincident with other VTE risk factors.
