To investigate the potential association between ABO blood groups and intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR) among pregnant women who delivered at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
This is a retrospective cohort study analyzed the medical records of pregnant women who delivered at KAUH and had postnatal follow-up visits. Missing data were completed by conducting phone interviews with patients.
A total of 436 patients with a mean age of 31.2±5.5 years were included in the study. 50.7% of the women had blood type O, 28.4% had blood type A, 16.5% had blood type B, and 4.4% had blood type AB. The majority (94.7%) tested positive for the Rhesus antigen. Although statistically significant, women with blood groups AB and B exhibited higher rates of IUGR (31.6%, and 27.8%, respectively) compared to those with blood groups A and O, who had lower rates of IUGR (26.6%, and 24%, respectively).
Our study results showed that women with blood groups AB and B had slightly higher rates of IUGR than those with A and O, who had lower rates of IUGR. A larger study comparing blood group O to other groups may provide more insight into the relationship between ABO blood groups and IUGR.
探讨在沙特阿拉伯吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院（KAUH）分娩并接受产后随访的孕妇中，ABO 血型与宫内胎儿生长受限（IUGR）之间的潜在关联。
这是一项回顾性队列研究，分析了在 KAUH 分娩并接受产后随访的孕妇的病历。通过与患者进行电话访谈来完成缺失数据。
共有 436 名平均年龄为 31.2±5.5 岁的患者纳入研究。50.7%的女性血型为 O，28.4%的女性血型为 A，16.5%的女性血型为 B，4.4%的女性血型为 AB。大多数（94.7%）女性的 Rh 抗原检测呈阳性。尽管具有统计学意义，但与血型为 A 和 O 的女性相比，血型为 AB 和 B 的女性发生 IUGR 的比率略高（分别为 31.6%和 27.8%），而血型为 A 和 O 的女性发生 IUGR 的比率较低（分别为 26.6%和 24%）。
我们的研究结果表明，与血型为 A 和 O 的女性相比，血型为 AB 和 B 的女性发生 IUGR 的比率略高，而血型为 A 和 O 的女性发生 IUGR 的比率较低。一项比较 O 型血与其他血型的更大规模研究可能会更深入地了解 ABO 血型与 IUGR 之间的关系。
