Table I: Blood group distribution and analysis of Covid-19 patients and
healthy individuals
Of the patients, 175 (10.5%) were followed up in the intensive care
unit and 89 (50.8%) died. When the blood group distribution of the
patients taken to intensive care unit was examined, A, B, O, AB blood
group distribution of the patients was 42.28%, 21.14%, 26.85%,
9.71%, and Rh (+), Rh (-) blood group distribution was 92% and 8%,
respectively. And when the blood group distribution of the deceased
patients was examined, A, B, O, AB blood group distribution was 40.44%,
22.47%, 26.96%, 10.11%, and Rh (+), Rh (-) blood group distribution
was 91.01% and 8.98%, respectively. When all Covid-19 patients and
those in need of intensive care and deceased ones were compared
statistically, although there were percentile differences in ABO blood
group distribution, this was not statistically significant (Table 2 and
Table 3).
