Investigation of the relationship of ABO and Rh blood groups with cholesteatoma development and disease severity in patients with chronic otitis media. The files of 149 patients who were operated for chronic otitis in our clinic between 2013-2020 and in order to compare them with the normal population, 200 patients without a history of chronic otitis were investigated retrospectively. The patients were classified as group 1: chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma, group 2: chronic otitis media without cholesteatoma, and group 3: control group. Age, gender, and blood group data were analyzed and compared for each patient. Middle ear risk index (MERI) and cholesteatoma staging (CS) of patients with cholesteatoma were recorded and the relationship between these values and blood groups was examined. Group 1 had 68 patients, group 2 had 81 patients, and group 3 had 200 patients. There was no difference between the groups in terms of mean age. The ratio of female patients in group 1 was lower than group 2 and control group (p=0.021). In group 1, blood group O was significantly lower and blood group A was significantly higher than group 2 and control group (p=0,047). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of other blood groups (p>0.05). In patients with cholesteatoma, there was no significant difference between blood groups in terms of MERI scores and CS (p= 0.149, p= 0.157, respectively). Studies have been performed to show that differences in blood groups may be risk factors in the development of many diseases. In our study, we found that individuals with blood group O have less risk and individuals with blood group A have a higher risk of developing cholesteatoma. In the light of these results, we think that it may be beneficial to consider differences in blood groups in terms of the development of cholesteatoma in patients with chronic otitis media as a risk factor in the follow-up of patients.
