Résumé

Blood group antigens are one of the most important antigens in humans that have an impact on susceptibility to disease and may be used as a prognosis factor in different diseases such as COVID-19. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between ABO blood groups and Rhesus antigen and susceptibility to COVID-19. The clinical data of 398 subjects were used in the investigation collected from 148 cases vs. 250 controls. This information was obtained from Shahid Sadoughi Hospital of Yazd (IRAN) University. Blood groups and outcomes were assessed using statistical tests for four populations: COV + vs. COV- and COV +/deceased vs. COV +/live. Out of a total of 148 COVID-19 patients, 80 (54/1%) were male, 68 (45/9%) were female. Among these patients, 33 (22/6%) had type A+, 44 (30/1%) had type B+, 13 (8/9%) had type AB+, and 36 (24/7%) had type O+. On the other hand, out of 148 patients, 126 (86/3%) had positive blood types, and 20 (13/7%) had negative blood types. As a result, no significant difference was found in the relationship between ABO blood groups and RH type and susceptibility to COVID-19 (p-value = 0.392 and p-value = 0.847, respectively). Other data showed a significant difference between patients group with other parameters such as age (p-value<0.001) and gender (p-value<0.001). Although in this study there was no association between blood type and RH type with COVID-19, findings of the association between age and gender can confirm the results of previous studies.
