                            <p>Aim: We aimed to contribute to transfusion medicine practices in our region and the blood group database of our country by determining the ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood group distribution in our region. Method: Blood group data of donors who were admitted to the transfusion center of Antalya Education and Research Hospital between January 1. 2013 and September 1. 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. In case of repeated blood donation. only one of the test results was included. Blood groups were determined using the colon agglutination method. Results: In our study included blood group data of 10.867 donors who applied transfusion center for donation from 15.997 donnors. There were 10.335 (95.1%) males and 532 (4.9%) females and their age mean were 37.38 ± 9.52. According to results of the study. 4.676 (43.0%) people were A blood group, 3.750 (34.9%) people were O blood group, 1.695 (15.6%) people were B blood group, 706 (6.5%) people were AB blood group while 9.830 (90.5%) people were Rh (+) and 1.037 (9.5%) people were determined as Rh (-). Conclusion: The results of our study were consistent with those in general population in Turkey. As in our country. A blood group rate is the highest. followed by 0, B and AB blood groups. It is belived that the results of the first study in Antalya region. would contribute to transfusion medicine practices in our region. to the database of distribution of blood groups in our country and to scientific studies.</p></trans-abstract>

Yöntem: Antalya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Transfüzyon Merkezi’ne 01.01.2013 ile 01.09.2019 tarihleri arasında başvuran donörlerin ABO ve Rh kan grubu bilgileri retrospektif olarak analiz edildi. Birden fazla bağışta bulunan donörlerin tek kan grubu verisi dahil edildi. Kan grupları kolon aglutinasyon yöntemi ile saptandı. Bulgular: Başvurusu kabul edilen 15.997 donörden 10.867 donörün kan grubu çalışmaya alındı. Donörler 10.335 (% 95.10) erkek ve 532 (% 4.90) kadından oluşmakta ve yaş aralığı 37.38 ± 9.52 idi. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre 4.676 (% 43.0) kişi A kan grubu, 3.750 (% 34.9) kişi O kan grubu, 1.695 (%15.6) kişi B kan grubu, 706 (% 6.5) kişi AB kan grubu olarak saptanırken, 9.830 kişi (% 90.5) Rh (+) ve 1.037 kişi (% 9.5) Rh (-) olarak saptandı. Sonuç:  Çalışmamızın sonuçları ülkemizin ABO ve Rh kan grubu dağılımı ile uyum göstermiştir. Ülkemiz genelinde olduğu gibi A kan grubu oranı en yüksek iken onu 0, B ve AB kan grupları izlemiştir. Antalya bölgesinde ilk kez yapılan çalışmamızın sonuçlarının transfüzyon tıbbı uygulamalarımıza, ülkemizin kan grupları dağılımı veri tabanına ve bilimsel çalışmalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.</p></abstract>
