Background. There are differences in the distribution and frequency of ABO and D blood groups in different populations of the world. Relatively very little information is available about blood group distributions in the Somali population. Objectives: To identify the distribution and frequency of ABO and D blood groups among the Somali people. Methods. A retrospective cross-sectional study of 1811 enrolled students of Jazeera University was conducted in Jazeera University diagnosis and research center, Mogadishu-Somalia from December 2017 to December 2020. The result was presented as the frequency of each blood group with percentage. A Fisher’s exact test was carried out to test the significant association of the ABO blood group with sex and D antigen with sex. Results. Blood group O was the most prevalent (61%), followed by A (27%), B (10%), and AB (2%). The D-antigen was present in 97% of participants and 3% were D-negative. The distribution of O+, A+, B+, AB+ among D-positive subjects were 62%, 27%, 9% and 2.0% while that of O-, A-, B- and AB- among D-negative subjects were 57%, 27%, 12% and 3%, respectively. The frequencies of ABO and D-antigens in both male and female subjects were O > A > B > AB. However, this study found no significant difference of ABO with Sex and D-antigens with sex (P-value>0.05). Conclusions. The frequency of ABO and D blood groups among the Somalia population was found to be O > A > B > AB which was similar to those reported from most East African populations.

“…There was no big difference in the distribution of O and A blood groups (37.44% and 36.82%, respectively) in this study when compared with other studies in Saudi Arabia (47.45% and 26.2%) [ 19 ] and Nigeria (55.3% and 25.3%) [ 22 ] which showed significant differences in the frequency rates of O and A blood groups. Conversely, a study done by Sana and Tauseef reported that group A (28.947%) was the most prevalent followed by O (22.267%) [ 23 ], whereas other studies reported that B blood group (34.3% and 35.7%) was the most prevalent, followed by O (31.3% and 29.8%) [ 3 , 24 ]. The frequency rates of B and AB blood groups in this study was found to be 18.62% and 7.12%, respectively, which is lower than 35.7% and 9.7% reported by Nigam et al [ 3 ].…”

Background and objectives: Blood screening is considered a compulsory procedure in health care services to reduce the occurrence of transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs). This study estimated the distribution rates of ABO and Rh blood group systems, prevalence rates of TTIs among blood donors and their association with the ABO blood group and Rh system. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at the national blood bank, Amman, Jordan for a period of 6 years (from January 2013 to December 2018). For TTIs analysis, about 5 mL blood sample was collected from each volunteer. A total of 365,029 persons (346,048 (94.8%) males and 18,981 (5.2%) females) donated their blood at the national blood bank, Amman, Jordan from January 2013 to December 2018. Results: The results revealed that O and A were the most prevalent blood groups (37.44% and 36.82%, respectively), followed by B (18.62%) and AB (7.12%). The distribution of Rh + ve and Rh − ve among blood donors showed that Rh + ve donors were more prevalent (88.73%) compared with Rh − ve (11.27%). HBsAg was the most prevalent viral infection (0.38%) followed by HCV (0.13%), syphilis (0.02%), HIV (0.006%) and the male donors were highly infected when compared with female donors. The association between ABO/Rh blood groups and TTIs infections was nonsignificant. Conclusions: In conclusion, low frequency rates of TTIs among blood donors were detected in the current study, but improvements are still continuously required. Low percentages of female donors need to be managed via conducting health cultural education programs.

“…23 Though, B blood grouped people affected more frequently, but our study haven't found any significant relationship between disease severity and ABO group and Rhesus grouping like other studies. 17,19,20,23,25 The current study had revealed that patients' age, occupation, history of smoking, high BMI and presence of underlying diseases were significantly associated with the severity of COVID-19. In our study we found 81.1% of the COVID-19 significantly managed at home level, 13.9% at general medical wards, 3.3% at HDU level and only 1.6% at ICU.…”

“…However, a large study conducted among blood donors in the central part of Bangladesh revealed 37.5%, 31.8%, 21.8% and 8.9% for B, O, A and AB respectively; and Rhesus positive and negative were 96.79% and 3.2% respectively. 25 Distribution of ABO group in the study population of Jashore, Bangladesh had been shown 39.6%, 29.1%, 22.5% and 11.5% for B, O, A and AB respectively; and Rhesus positive and negative were 95.5% and 4.5% respectively, whereas the other studies have reported that blood group A people were more susceptible to COVID infection. 17,18,19,20 However, the other study has reported highest and lowest vulnerable to get COVID-19 infection among blood group of B and AB people respectively which is very similar to our study.…”

Introduction: The whole world has been crippled by COVID- 19 for a long period of time and a lot of its issues still remain unknown. The study was designed to assess the distribution of ABO blood group system, presentation, comorbidities, disease severity and outcome of COVID-19 patients in Jashore, Bangladesh. Methods: This retrospective type of observational study recruited 928 RT-PCR positive COVID-19 patients above 18 years living in the district of Jashore, Bangladesh. Results: Mean age of the study population was 41.55±13.59 years including a significant age difference (p: <0.001) in disease severity and insignificant gender difference were observed (p: 0.291). Fever was frequently presenting symptoms (83.1%) in our study associated with cough 47.1%, fatigue 39.2%, myalgia 38.0%, distaste 35.3%, anosmia or hyposmia 33.3%. Diabetes (p: <0.001), hypertension (p: <0.001), chronic respiratory illness (p: <0.001), coronary artery diseases (p: 0.003) and malignancy (p: 0.003) played as potential risk factors for developing COVID-19 severity. Out of the total study patients, 36.9%, 29.1%, 22.5 and 11.5% COVID- 19 patients came from blood B, O, A an AB respectively. On the other hand 95.5% COVID-19 patients were Rhesus positive. However, we did not found any significant association between disease severity and different ABO and Rh blood group (p: 0.379 and p: 0.092 respectively). A 97.6% of our patients had significantly (p: <0.001) been recovered from COVID-19 where most of the patients (81.1%) were managed at home. Though, 2% and 1.9% of our patients developed severe pneumonia and critically ill COVID-19, we had noticed significantly low mortality rate (1.4%, p: <0.001) in this current study. Conclusion: In this recent study, blood group B constituted the highest number of the COVID-19 patients. Fever, cough and fatigue were the most common presenting feature of COVID-19 patients. Preexistent diabetes, hypertension, chronic respiratory diseases, coronary artery diseases and malignancy played as significant potential risk factors of diease severity of COVID-19. A majority of the patients were significantly managed at home. A minimum portion of the COVID-19 patients developed severe pneumonia and critical illness; and a significant low case fatality occurred in our study. J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2022; 40: 246-252
