Evaluation of the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups in Sivas province
Abstract
Objective: To determine the A, B, O, AB blood group distribution and Rhesus (Rh) positivity rate of Sivas province, and thus to know the distribution of blood groups in our region and to use it in a practical and scientific manner when necessary.
Method: The blood group results of a total of 50,441 individuals over the age of 18 who applied to Sivas Cumhuriyet University Health Services Application and Research Hospital for various reasons between 2018 and 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. ABO and Rh blood groups were determined according to the data obtained from the Hitachi ElecSys 2010 Rack device. Various groupings were made according to blood type, gender and age, and the results were evaluated by percentage calculation.
Results: 19.387 (38.4%) people A Rh (+), 14.045 (27.8%) people O Rh (+), 7.202 (14.2%) people B Rh (+), 3445 (6.8%) ) person AB Rh (+), 2781 (5.5%) person A Rh (-), 2060 (4.08%) person O Rh (-), 1027 (2.03%) person B Rh (-), 500 (0.9%) persons were identified as AB Rh (-). In terms of Rh blood group, it was seen that 44.076 (87.3%) people were Rh (+) and 6365 (12.6%) people were Rh (-).
Conclusions: In summary Sivas province of Turkey reflects the demographic. Blood type distribution rates of Sivas province are similar to other provinces in our region and the general population of our country. However, we saw differences with some other regions. It is very important to know the blood type for blood supply and storage in our region. We hope that these up-to-date data on blood group distribution in Sivas will be useful for the practice and literature in terms of blood groups database.
