“…The tendency of our estimates are consistent with that of Volker-Dieben et al (1982). Allansmith et al (1975) reported that in the incompatible group (nΩ37), an A or B donor (3%) gave a lower failure rate than an AB donor (43%). In our incompatible group (nΩ42), graft failure rate of an A or B donor (nΩ32, 31.2%) was similar to that of an AB donor (nΩ10, 20.0%), but graft rejection rate of an A or B donor (21.9%) lower than that of an AB donor (50.0%).…”

“…Overall corneal graft survival rates are reported range from 32-90% (Mehri et al 1959;Allansmith et al 1975; CCTS Research group 1992; Maguire et al 1994;Sanfilippo et al 1986;Borderie et al 1997;Boisjoly et al 1990), and overall rejection-free graft survival rates from 75-81% (Borderie et al 1997, Boisjoly et al 1990). In our findings, overall graft survival rate was 74.7%, rejection-free graft survival rate 81.1%.…”

“…They concluded that ABO-matching was effective in preventing irreversible allograft rejection only in the high-risk recipients. Allansmith et al (1975) analyzed 150 corneal transplants and found no difference in the graft failure rate between ABO-compatible (8%) and ABO-incompatible (11%) transplants. Batchelor et al (1976) analyzed 100 high-risk transplants and found a negative effect for ABO compatibility on overall corneal graft survival or irreversible rejection.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To evaluate effects of ABO antigen blood-group matching on the rates of corneal allograft rejection after penetrating keratoplasty. Methods: We retrospectively studied clinical results of penetrating keratoplasties in terms of graft survival rates and rejection-free graft survival rates. Penetrating keratoplasties were done on 95 eyes between 1993 and 1997. Clinical results were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier life table method and log-rank test. The corneal transplantations were classified into 2 groups, high-risk (35 eyes) and low-risk (60 eyes) transplantations. High-risk transplantation was defined as significant vascularization in the recipient corneas or a history of graft failure. The remaining transplantations were defined as low-risk. Results: The respective graft survival (pΩ0.031) and rejection-free graft survival (pΩ0.0097) rates were higher in the low-risk than in the high-risk group. In the high-risk group, the rejection-free graft survival was 68.9% for the ABOcompatible subgroup and 36.4% for the ABO-incompatible subgroup (pΩ0.007). Conclusion: ABO matching is effective in reducing the risk of allograft rejection in high-risk corneal transplantations.

“…Early studies have shown that ABO or HLA compatible corneal tissue does not significantly improve corneal graft survival (Allansmith et al, 1974 ;1975). Later studies in Europe and USA have shown improved graft survival using histocompatibility matching between recipient and donor (Gibbs et al, 1974 ;Sanfilippo et al, 1984Sanfilippo et al, , 1986Volker-Dieben et al, 1987).…”
