Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of blood groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BGs); on Covid-19 contraction and prognosis and to reveal the coefficients. Methods: Patients who referred to Covid-19 outpatient clinics and had an established diagnosis of Covid-19 were included in the study. Their BGs, previous diagnoses and blood examination findings were retrospectively analyzed. Duration of hospitalization, clinical course and survival were recorded. Results: The mean age of 365 subjects, 210 female and 155 male, was 45.5 years. Subjects with BG A developed Covid-19 at significantly higher rates insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.001);, while BG O was found associated with lower rates insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.005);. Lymphocyte count was found lower insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.035); and rate of lung parenchymal involvement was higher insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.003); in patients with Rh antigen. It was found that a higher percentage of patients with B BG required treatment in the intensive care unit insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICU); compared to other ABO BGs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p = 0.015);. Conclusion: These results suggest a higher risk of Covid-19 contraction in the population with BG A and lower risk for BG O population while indicating poorer prognosis for patients with BG B.
