“…A study reported that an increased likelihood of transmission of COVID-19 was correlated with blood type AB. Additionally, they concluded that the blood group 'O' was more receptive to viruses than the 'A' group [36]. Contrary to earlier study findings, several recent investigations have identified no connection between blood types and COVID-19 infection.…”

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected millions of people globally. Many recent studies have suggested that the ABO blood type may contribute to COVID-19 infection immunopathogenesis. We aimed to determine the proportional distribution of COVID-19 infection among ABO blood types. Methodology: This retrospective research was conducted in the city of Jodhpur (Rajasthan), India. The research involved 1140 COVID-19 patients, whose medical records were available in blood banks. The data was evaluated statistically using IBM SPSS 26. Results: The proportion of blood group B among infected patients was highest (37.36%). Among all the cases, blood group A had the highest odds ratio of 1.062 (CI 95%, 0.92-1.21, p = 0.412). All versus one blood group analysis also showed that blood group A (odds ratio = 1.062 [CI 95%, 0.92-1.22] p = 0.412) was more likely to be infected with COVID-19 than the remaining blood groups. In the year 2021, blood group B had the highest risk of COVID-19 infection (odds ratio = 1.138). Conclusions: Based on our findings, the blood groups A and B are more likely to be infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The overall average age for COVID-19 infection was lower, and the number of incidences in female patients was higher in 2021, relative to 2020. We found no evident relationship between COVID-19 vulnerabilities and blood group. A summary of the research is presented in Supplementary Figure 1.

“…Other studies also reported no association between ABO blood types and severe COVID-19 outcomes but in accordance with the finds reported for the risk of infection [ 19 , 20 , 60 , 65 , 67 ]. Further studies also failed to report any association between the ABO blood group and severe COVID-19 outcomes [ [79] , [80] , [81] , [82] ].…”

“…In the Turkish population, studies examining this risk were conducted [15][16][17]. The joint results found in these studies; people with group A are more likely to be infected, but the blood group does not have a significant effect on the course of the diseaseexcept for the study of Sertbas et al, which showed that the risk of intubation increased in the AB group [16].…”

Objective: We aimed to delineate the effects of the ABO groups and the main clinical outcomes with the current SARS-CoV-2 variants, i.e., delta and omicron. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, the total 360 adult COVID-19 patients who were followed in the pandemic waves of delta and omicron variants and had ABO blood group analysis were included and divided into two groups according to the waves of variant. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, length of hospitalization and intensive care needs, survival and ABO groups of cases were recorded. These groups were then compared with the ABO group distribution of population-reflecting 1881 healthy individuals and 186 historical alpha variant cases. Results: The demographic characteristics of the case groups and control group were similar. ABO distributions of the delta and omicron wave groups compared to the control group did not show a statistically significant difference. While advanced age (p<0.001) and presence of comorbidity (p=0.006) showed statistically significant differences in terms of overall survival, ABO blood group was not found to be a risk factor for mortality (p=0.114 in delta, and 0.526 in omicron), hospitalization time (p=0.148 in delta, p=0.224 in omicron), and intensive care unit admission (p=0.096 in delta, p=0.229 in omicron). Conclusion: The risk of infection among ABO blood groups, which has been shown in previous studies for the alpha variant against group A and in favor of group O, does not appear to be valid for delta and omicron period patients. Therefore, the anti-infective measures, especially vaccination, should not differ for individuals according to ABO blood group.
