Background: We aimed to verify the association between blood group systems and prognosis of SARS-Cov-2 disease. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 329 patients infected with SARS-Cov-2 diagnosed based on their COVID-19 RT-PCR results and chest CT scans, were enrolled in the study. These patients were admitted to Kamkar Arab Nia Hospital, Qom, Iran from March to June 2020. Their blood groups and RH were determined, and demographic characteristics and clinical signs of patients were recorded. The patients’ temperature and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) were measured. Finally, the duration of hospitalization, intubation, and death rate were also analyzed. Results: The results of the patients' blood group analysis were as follows: 129(39.2%) patients had A type, 66(20.1%) B type, 21(6.4%) AB type, and 113(34.3%) O type. Of 329 patients, 297 (90.3%) had Rh antigen. The dead cases were higher in O blood type at 13 cases (11.5%). Considering the positive and negative rhesus antigen, 31 (10.4%) and 1 (3.1%) were dead respectively, but the difference was not statically significant. As for the A group, the mean of admission duration (8.4±6.1 days) was not significantly different from the B group (8.8 ±7.2 days). AB group with a mean (7.4 ±4.4 days) was not significantly different from the O group (7.8 ± 5.4 days). There was no significant difference in the duration of hospitalization in RH patients, positive or negative. B blood group showed a significant association with the time interval to return to normal oxygen levels. Conclusion: Blood type was not associated with COVID-19 death rate, nor was it associated with admission duration. B blood group showed a significant association with the time interval to return to normal oxygen levels.

ABO blood group and body mass index (BMI) have individually been appraised as risk factors for certain diseases. From statistical perspective, it may be important to examine the relationship between the ABO blood antigen and BMI. This cross-sectional study involved 412 participants aged 18 to 46 at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi. Weight and height of participants were measured for BMI calculation; blood group determination was done using antisera. Blood group O was the most prevalent (51.2%), while Rhesus-positive individuals constituted 90.3%. 6.3% of the participants were obese, while 18.7% were overweight. There was significant (p=0.006) higher prevalence of obesity in females (10.3%) than in males (3.4%). The study did not observe any significant difference by association of ABO blood group with gender (p=0.973), BMI (p=0.307), or Rhesus status (p=0.723). Regarding gender (p=0.400) and BMI (p=0.197), no statistically significant difference was observed between Rhesus blood groups. The prevalence of overweight, obesity, blood type O, and rhesus positive observed among students in this study is largely similar to what has been reported in published studies in Ghana and from other countries. Overweight and obesity were not associated with ABO blood groups or Rhesus in this study.

AbstractHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. There are many factors in the etiology of HCC such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), alcohol, obesity, smoking and aflatoxin. Many types of cancer are assumed to be associated with ABO blood group and Rhesus factor (RH). In this study we aimed to evaluate the relationship between tumor characteristics and overall survival (OS), ABO blood group and RH factor in patients with HCC. A total of 507 patients with chronic liver disease (252 patients with HCC and 255 patients without HCC) were included in the study. All demographic, clinic and laboratory (biochemical parameters and blood type) features were collected retrospectively. The mean age of the patients was 54.50 ± 9.30. There was no significant difference in both ABO groups and RH factors between the two groups. We found that vascular invasion rate of the tumor was higher in the B blood group and multicentric localization of tumor was significantly higer in patients with positive RH but there was no difference between OS in ABO and RH blood groups. In addition, the tumor was less multicentric in the AB blood group. Blood groups and RH factor can be used to predict the prognosis in cirrhotic patients with HCC.

The present investigation is to explore the emotional intelligence of different blood groups (A+, AB+, B+, and O+). Sample of the study consisted of college students of different blood groups (50 A+, 50 B+, 50 AB+, 50 O+). Their age range between 17-25 years. Their education was above 12th standards. To assess emotional intelligence ‘Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS)’ by Anukool Hyde, Sanjyot Pethe, and Upinder Dhar was used. To test the hypothesis of the present investigation ANOVA was used. Finding of ANOVA reveals that there is significant difference among blood groups and emotional intelligence. Students who have B+ blood group scored higher on value orientation and who have AB+ blood group scored higher on empathy and emotional stability.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease which is categorized as hyperglycemia. This disease is a multi-factorial trait that appears by interactions of genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted through case–control method of study in Dangila, Ethiopia. The total number of individuals included as study subjects was 403, of these 201 were diabetic patients (81 type I and 120 type II diabetic patients) and 202 were non-diabetics patients. From 403 participants, 225 were males and 178 were females. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Results: A significant association was obtained between sex, age, marital status, blood group and Rh factors with diabetes mellitus but not with residence and family histories. Male from sex, above 40 years from age, married from marital status were more susceptible for diabetes, contrary females, 16-40 years and singles were lower risk of diabetic than other comparable categories. In case of blood group, type A was more susceptible and blood type O and AB were lower risk rate of diabetes mellitus. Additionally blood AB/Rh negative individuals were not affected by type I diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: The socio-demographic factor sex, age, and marital status showed a significant association but family history and residence did not show a significant association with DM. In blood groups, the other important point that observed was, no one founds who had AB blood groups that diagnose type one DM. The majority of the study participants had Rh-positive, though the significant difference between diabetic and non-diabetic was observed only in Rh negatives.

Objective: COVID-19 has been detected in Turkey since March 11, 2020. Istanbul has become an important center of the pandemic in Turkey. Various risk factors for COVID-19 infection, mortality, and morbidity are under investigation. Recent studies have suggested that certain blood groups are risk factors for the disease. The aim of this study is the evaluation the relationship between blood groups and the risk of contracting COVID-19 disease, clinical severity of the disease, and CT (computed tomography) imaging findings. Material and Methods: Age, gender, blood group data, clinical severity and CT images of 300 patients who were positive with RT PCR (Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) and were followed up in the clinic were retrospectively scanned and recorded. The clinical severity of the disease and CT imaging findings were scored, and the data were evaluated statistically. Results: While the incidence of COVID-19 was high in the A blood group, it was low in the 0 blood group. Although there was no significant difference between blood types and clinical severity, the involvement in the B blood group was more severe on CT imaging. Conclusion: People with A blood group should pay more attention to protection and isolation. Investigating this difference and underlying pathogenic mechanisms can guide science with advanced studies.

Background Globally, studies have shown conflicting results regarding the association of blood groups with SARS CoV-2 infection. Objective To observe the association between ABO blood groups and the presentation and outcomes of confirmed COVID-19 cases. Design, setting, and participants This was a prospective cohort study of patients with mild-to-moderately severe COVID-19 infections who presented in the COVID-19 unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and were enrolled between 01 June and 25 August, 2020. Patients were followed up for at least 30 days after disease onset. We grouped participants with A-positive and A-negative blood groups into group I and participants with other blood groups into group II. Results The cohort included 438 patients; 52 patients were lost to follow-up, five died, and 381 completed the study. The prevalence of blood group A [144 (32.9%)] was significantly higher among COVID-19 patients than in the general population (p < 0.001). The presenting age [mean (SD)] of group I [42.1 (14.5)] was higher than that of group II [38.8 (12.4), p = 0.014]. Sex (p = 0.23) and co-morbidity (hypertension, p = 0.34; diabetes, p = 0.13) did not differ between the patients in groups I and II. No differences were observed regarding important presenting symptoms, including fever (p = 0.72), cough (p = 0.69), and respiratory distress (p = 0.09). There was no significant difference in the median duration of symptoms in the two group (12 days), and conversion to the next level of severity was observed in 26 (20.6%) and 36 patients (13.8%) in group I and II, respectively. However, persistent positivity of RT-PCR at 14 days of initial positivity was more frequent among the patients in group I [24 (19%)] than among those in group II [29 (11.1%)]. Conclusions The prevalence of blood group A was higher among COVID-19 patients. Although ABO blood groups were not associated with the presentation or recovery period of COVID-19, patients with blood group A had delayed seroconversion.

Objective: To assess any association of blood groups with oral submucous fibrosis and if any of the blood group is related with an increased risk for oral submucous fibrosis. Study Design: Comparative study Place and Duration of Study: Department Of Oral Pathology, Fatima Jinnah Dental College & Hospital Karachi, Pakistan from Jan to Dec 2018. Patients and Methods: Total 100 patients were enrolled in the study in which half were cases where oral sub mucous fibrosis had been diagnosed clinically while remaining half were the controls that were involved in the habit of using tobacco/nuts but had no oral pre malignant lesion. For investigation of blood, samples of blood were taken from both the groups. Odd ration and chi-square test was used to analyze data. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Majority of the individuals in experimental group had “B” blood group followed by “O” “AB” and “A” blood groups. Conclusion: This study showed that ABO blood groups have considerable relation with oral submucous fibrosis. Individuals having “B” blood group had 2.18 times increased tendency of having oral submucous fibrosis in contrast with patients who belong to any other blood group.

Abstract Introduction/Objective COVID -19 Convalescent plasma therapy (CCP) is under an FDA Emergency Use Authorization to treat hospitalized patients with COVID-19. However, being ill enough to require hospitalization for COVID-19 is a negative outcome. There is also contradictory literature on whether ABO blood group is associated with worse outcomes with COVID-19 disease. Therefore, we share a regional Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) experience comparing the blood groups of patients intended to receive CCP to a control group of patients positive for SARS-CoV-2. Methods/Case Report A retrospective review of all patients who had CCP ordered in the year 2020 was performed to identify the blood group of these patients, which was compared to a control population of positive patients early in the pandemic (March 17th, 2020 to May 20th, 2020). Results (if a Case Study enter NA) A total of 15 patients had CCP ordered as part of their care with an age range of 56-85 (average 69.7) years of age, entirely male composition, and a racial breakdown of 13 African Americans (86.7%), 1 Caucasian American (6.7%), and 1 Asian American (6.7%). The blood group distribution amongst these 15 patients for CCP was 1 AB+ (6.7%), 5 A+ (33.3%), 4 B+ (26.7%), and 5 O+ (33.3%). The unrelated control population consisted of 81 SARS-CoV-2 positive patients whose blood groups were distributed as 3 group AB (3.7%), 21 group A (25.9%), 15 group B (18.5%), and 42 group O (51.8%). A Chi squared test did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups in ABO composition. Conclusion The ABO proportions of patients for whom CCP was ordered compared to the control group was not statistically significant. This provides support to the literature arguing that ABO may not be related to worse outcomes such as hospitalization or need for CCP transfusion.

Background: The pattern and distribution of Haematological malignancies vary depending on age, sex and geographical location. Studies on the association between Haematological cancers and ABO blood types have been largely conflicting. The objective of our study was to determine the distribution of ABO blood groups among patients with Haematological malignancies and to correlate with age and gender. Materials and Methods: This was a chart based observational descriptive study involving the review of records of 85 patients with various Haematological malignancies in Father Muller Medical College Hospital for a period of two years from July 2017- June 2019. Age, gender, malignant condition, ABO and Rh blood group were collected for each case. Data was analyzed statistically by frequency and percentage. Results: The peak age incidence for various Haematological malignancies was in the fifth and sixth decades of life with a mean age of 47.The male to female sex ratio was almost 1:1. Majority of the patients were of the O blood group and an association of O blood group with various hematological malignancies with male preponderance was noted. Altogether, Leukemias were the most common Haematological malignancy observed in this study. Conclusion: The distribution, age and sex ratio of Haematological malignancies in our study was comparable to those reported by other authors with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) being the most common Haematological malignancy in our environment. There was no significant association between Haematological cancers and ABO blood type of the patients, but probably individuals with O Rh positive blood group are more prone to

We investigated lectin binding patterns on tissue specimens of normal and metaplastic gastric surface mucosae, gastric adenomas, and intestinal and diffuse-type gastric carcinomas. Compared with normal gastric mucosa, metaplastic mucosa exhibited an increase of ConA binding and decreases of WGA, PNA, UEA-1, and DBA binding in the cytoplasm, and decreases of ConA, PNA, and UEA-1 binding at the luminal surface. Intestinal carcinomas were similar to metaplastic gastric surface mucosa in ConA, WGA, and UEA-1 binding in the cytoplasm, while diffuse-type carcinomas were similar to normal gastric mucosa in WGA and UEA-1 binding in the cytoplasm. Adenomas were similar to intestinal carcinomas in ConA and UEA-1 binding in the cytoplasm, but were different from intestinal carcinomas in Con A and UEA-1 binding at the luminal surface. For UEA-1, normal and metaplastic gastric surface mucosae did not show a significant difference between the blood type A, AB, B group and the O group. Intestinal and diffuse carcinomas and adenomas also did not show such a difference between the blood groups. For DBA, normal gastric surface mucosa showed a significant difference between the blood type B, O group and the A, AB group. Normal gastric mucosa of the blood type A, AB group was frequently positive for DBA binding in the cytoplasm and at the luminal surface. Metaplastic mucosa did not show a significant difference between the blood groups. Intestinal and diffuse-type carcinomas and adenomas also did not show a difference between the blood groups. DBA binding in the cytoplasm of intestinal carcinomas and adenomas was more frequently positive than that of normal and metaplastic mucosae, except for normal gastric mucosa of the blood type A, AB group. Compared with diffuse-type carcinomas, intestinal carcinomas were accompanied by a significant increase of ConA binding and decreases of WGA and PNA binding in the cytoplasm.
