Background Blood group, Bleeding Time and Clotting time are clinically useful tests, extensively used during blood transfusion, platelet disorders and a variety of forms of treatment in hospitals. The objective of our study was to assess the country wise distribution of blood groups and to compare the country wise bleeding time and clotting time with respect to blood group. Material and Methods This Observational Study has been performed at Manipal College of Medical Sciences, during the period of 1st May 2010 to 31st August–2011. The study was carried out on the undergraduate medical students of Basic sciences and included assessment of Bleeding time, Clotting time and Blood grouping by standard procedures. Results 261 medical students participated in the study. Among the Nepalese students, 30.5% had blood group A, 28.9% B, 5.5% AB and remaining 35.2% O. among the Indian students, 22.8% were blood group A, 45.7% B, 7.6% AB and 23.9% O. In Sri Lankan students, 22% had blood group A, 19.5% B, 4.9% AB, and 53.7% blood group O. Among Nepalese students, BT was higher in blood group A (163.85 seconds) as compared to Indians (154.29Sec) and Sri Lankans (133.33 sec). Nepalese students with AB blood group had higher BT (171.43 sec). Indian students with blood group A had comparatively higher clotting time (328.57 sec) followed by Nepali (276.15 sec) and then Sri Lankan students (270 sec). Girls are 4.432 times more prone for bleeding time greater than 4 minutes and 2.453 times for clotting time value above 6 minutes as compared to males. Conclusion Our study suggests that O blood group is predominant in Nepalese students while Blood group B was the most common blood group in the Indian students. We found higher BT and CT in females, which are more prominent in Indians, so this gender disparity is an additional risk factor for them. Health Ministries of respective countries have to improve the proper health care policies required for prevention and management of blood group diseases, bleeding time and clotting time related disorders like Hypoprothrombinemia and Thrombocytopenia.http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nje.v1i4.5755 Nepal Journal of Epidemiology 2011;1(4):135-140

ABSTRACT:Stoppage of bleeding from damaged blood vessels is hemostasis, an essential factor to be checked before any surgical process. Hence blood test is a routine test for hospital prior to surgeries. The aim of this study is to assess the blood groups distribution and to check gender based relationship among blood groups, bleeding and clotting time. The study was conducted in the department of pharmacy, BZU. The available detail reports of 122 students of 1st year of Pharm.D were analyzed in aspects of age, sex, blood groups, bleeding time and clotting time. The blood group were determined with the standard antisera, Duke Method and Capillary tube method were used to find out bleeding time and clotting time respectively. Finally all the parameters were compared and analyzed statistically. In the present study it is found that B blood group is more prevalent in both the sexes than O, A and AB. Clotting time is found to be significantly higher in O and B blood groups in females and males respectively, whereas Bleeding time was found to be prolonged in maximum number of group AB in females and blood group O in males but the difference was statistically insignificant. In females, bleeding and clotting time are slightly on higher side than in males, may be because of hormonal differences. Various cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases are associated with the blood groups, so people can take preventive measures according to their blood groups.

The frequencies of ABO and rhesus blood groups vary from one population to another. We studied blood group distribution in 120 Nepalese students; 34% were blood group A, 29% group B, 4% group AB and 32.5% group O. The frequency of Rh-negative blood was 3.33% and Rh-positive 96.66%

Blood Grouping

Introduction: Blood grouping, bleeding time (BT) and clotting time (CT) are important hematological parameters investigated before any surgical procedure. The association of blood groups with many diseases are established, such as epistaxis with blood group “O”. This study aimed to assess the relationship of BT and CT among different blood groups and to find any gender difference in these parameters. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among healthy medical students. Blood grouping was done by agglutination method, BT by Duke’s method, and CT by capillary tube method. Mean bleeding and clotting times (seconds) were compared among groups. Results: The study was completed in 351 students (160 males, 191 females), with age ranging from 19-23 years. Both BT and CT values were highest in the blood type O, BT was lowest in type B, and CT was lowest in type AB, although the differences were statistically not significant (p>0.15). Females had higher values of BT as well as CT than males (p values <0.001). A very highly significant correlation between the bleeding and clotting times was also noticed (Pearson’s correlation coefficient, P = 0.495, p<0.001). Conclusions: The study hinted a tendency for higher risk for hemorrhagic condition and lower risk for thrombotic event in blood group O compared to groups A, B or AB. Multicentric study including larger population with the emphasis on finding plasma vWF level may be helpful to verify findings, identify the risk groups, and take prior preventive measures.

Background: Evaluation of blood groups, bleeding and clotting time are the most important and initial hematological parameters done routinely and especially before any surgical procedure. Researches indicate that various gastrointestinal diseases like ulcers, cancers, UTIs, cardiovascular disorder , diabetes mellitus as well as thrombosis, epistaxis etc. are associated with ABO blood group system. Hemostatic parameters like BT and CT also vary in different blood groups. Materials and methods: The available data of 400 students of 1st year of mbbs, bds and para medical courses was analyzed in every required  aspects i.e. sex, age, ABO and Rh blood groups, bleeding and clotting times. The standard antisera  (A, B, & D) was used to determine the blood group, Duke’s Method and Capillary tube method were used to find out bleeding and clotting time respectively. Finally, all the parameters were compared and analyzed statistically. Results: Blood group B (44.5%) was the most common blood group in both genders followed by O (30.5%), A (21%), and AB (4%). Bleeding time was found to be prolonged >4 min in maximum number of group O (53%) followed by group A (26.4%), group B (14.2%), and then group AB(6.1%) but the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.00005). Similarly clotting time was >6 min in group O(54.5%) followed by group B=A(18.1%), group least in AB (9%),  but the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.19). Gender-wise bleeding time was more prolonged in females (67.3%) than males (32.6%) but the difference was statistically insignificant (p = 0.07), similarly clotting time too was prolonged more in females (81%)than males (18.2%) but again the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.04). Conclusion : In our study, blood group B predominated followed by O, A, and AB. Bleeding time was prolonged >4 min in blood group O followed by A,B, and  AB whereas clotting time was prolonged >6 min in blood group O followed by A=B and then AB. Gender-wise bleeding and clotting time were higher in females than males. Various blood related disorders, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases are associated with blood groups,  so people can take preventive measures according to their blood groups.
