Aim: As the COVID-19 disease threatens the lives of many people all over the world, the laboratory parameters of the patients are examined in all respects. The relationship between blood types and COVID-19 has also been discussed in many studies.
The aim of this study is to examine the hemogram parameters of COVID-19 patients according to their blood groups.
Material and Methods: Our study is a retrospectively, designed descriptive, coross-sectional study. Patients who applied to the emergency pandemic outpatient clinic with the suspicion of COVID-19 between 01 December 2020 and 01 February 2021 were evaluated with blood groups and hemogram examinations.
Results: A total of 527 patients were included in the study. Of the patients, 31.1% (n=164) were male and 68.9% (n=363) were female. Of the patients included in the stıdy, 51.6% (n=272) were COVID-19 negative and 48.4%(n=255) were COVID-19 positive patients. No significant difference was observed between the COVID-19 diagnosed of the patients and their blood groups (p=0.799). No significant difference was observed between the paitents’ COVID-19 status and Rh factor (p=0.240). While there was no significant difference in lymphocyte and CRP values in the COVID-19 positive group (p>0.05); significant differences were observed in hemoglobin (p=0.028) and WBC (p=0.014) values.
Conclusion: In the results of the study, it was determined that there was no significant difference between COVID-19 positive and negative patients in terms of ABO blood group and Rh group. In additon, WBC and Hemoglobin levels were found to be significantly lower in PCR positive patients with AB blood group compared to other blood groups. Further studies are needed to explain the relationship between blood groups and laboratory parameters of COVID-19 positive patients.
in the development of children is emphasized.

Amaç: COVID-19 hastalığı, tüm Dünyada birçok insanın hayatını tehdit ettiği için hastaların laboratuar parametreleri her açıdan incelenmektedir. Kan grupları ve COVID-19 ilişkisi de birçok araştırmada tartışılmıştır. Çalışmamızın amacı, COVID-19 hastalarının kan gruplarına göre hemogram parametrelerini incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamız, retrospektif olarak tasarlanmış, tanımlayıcı-kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmada, 01.12.2020-01.02.2021 tarihleri arasında COVID-19 şüphesi ile acil pandemi polikliniğine başvuran hastalar kan grupları ve laboratuar tetkikleri ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 527 hasta dahil edildi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların %31,1’i (n=164) erkek, %68,9’u (n=363) ise kadındı. Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların %51,6’sı (n=272) COVID-19 negatif, %48,4’ü (n=255) ise COVID-19 pozitifti. Hastaların COVID-19 tanıları ile kan grupları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık izlenmedi (p=0,799). Hastaların COVID-19 olma durumu ile Rh faktörü arasında anlamlı bir farklılık izlenmedi (p=0,240). COVID-19 pozitif grupta, lenfosit ve CRP değerlerinde anlamlı farklılık izlenmezken (p>0,05); hemoglobin (p=0,028) ve WBC (p=0,014) değerlerinde anlamlı farklılıklar izlendi.
Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçlarında ABO kan grubu ve Rh grubu açısından COVID-19 pozitif ve negatif hastalar açısından anlamlı bir fark olmadığı tespit edildi. Bununla birlikte, AB kan grubu olan PZR pozitif hastaların, WBC ve hemoglobin düzeylerinin diğer kan gruplarına göre anlamlı olarak düşüklük tespit edilmiştir. COVID pozitif hastaların kan grupları ile laboratuvar parametrelerinin ilişkisini açıklayabilmek için ileride yapılacak daha geniş kapsamlı araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
