Proper blood bank inventory management and safe, efficient blood transfusion services require a thorough understanding of ABO and Rh(D) blood group distributions in specific populations. The objective of this research was to evaluate the distribution of ABO and Rh blood types among different ethnic blood donors in the Hail region of Saudi Arabia and compare the results to those of other populations.
Data from 3,166 blood donors were analyzed retrospectively. Blood bank records provided sociodemographic information as well as blood group phenotypes. Descriptive statistics were employed. The distribution of ABO and Rh blood types was statistically examined using the chi-square test.
The study identified a total of 3,166 blood donors, with the majority being males (3,083 (97.4%)). The median age of the donors was 35 years, with an interquartile range of 30-41 years. Of the cohort, 1,425 (45%) consisted of young donors, defined as individuals aged 30-41 years. The O blood type accounted for 1,409 (44.5%) of all types, making it the most prevalent. The next most common blood types were B at 837 (26.4%), A at 741 (23.4%), and AB at 179 (5.7%). When combined, O positive was the most prevalent type, accounting for 1,226 (38.7%) of the total. This was followed by type B positive at 745 (23.5%), type A positive at 651 (20.6%), O negative at 183 (5.8%), AB positive at 171 (5.3%), B negative at 92 (2.9%), A negative at 90 (2.8%), and AB negative at eight (0.3%).
According to the results, out of all the ABO phenotypes, O was the most common. B, A, and AB came next. In addition, Rh(D) positivity was observed in 88.2% of the donors. These results have considerable consequences for blood transfusion strategies in the Hail region.
合理的血库库存管理以及安全、高效的输血服务需要全面了解特定人群中的ABO和Rh(D)血型分布情况。本研究的目的是评估沙特阿拉伯哈伊勒地区不同种族献血者的ABO和Rh血型分布,并将结果与其他人群的结果进行比较。
对3166名献血者的数据进行回顾性分析。血库记录提供了社会人口统计学信息以及血型表型。采用描述性统计方法。使用卡方检验对ABO和Rh血型的分布进行统计学检验。
该研究共确定了3166名献血者,其中大多数为男性(3083名(97.4%))。献血者的年龄中位数为35岁,四分位间距为30至41岁。在该队列中,1425名(45%)为年轻献血者,定义为年龄在30至41岁的个体。O型血占所有血型的1409名(44.5%),是最常见的血型。接下来最常见的血型是B型,有837名(26.4%),A型有741名(23.4%),AB型有179名(5.7%)。综合来看,O型阳性是最常见的血型,占总数的1226名(38.7%)。其次是B型阳性,有745名(23.5%),A型阳性有651名(20.6%),O型阴性有183名(5.8%),AB型阳性有171名(5.3%),B型阴性有92名(2.9%),A型阴性有90名(2.8%),AB型阴性有8名(0.3%)。
根据结果,在所有ABO表型中,O型是最常见的。其次是B型、A型和AB型。此外,88.2%的献血者观察到Rh(D)阳性。这些结果对哈伊勒地区的输血策略有重大影响。
