AB0 AND RHESUS BLOOD GROUPS AS A RISK FACTOR FOR ARVI COVID-19

The frequency of AB0 and Rhesus blood groups was studied in 12120 patients with COVID-19, 5180 convalescent plasma donors and 118801 healthy donors from Moscow, Smolensk, Yakutsk, Minsk and Gomel. In infected individuals, the frequency of blood group A was significantly higher than in uninfected individuals (41,54 % and 34,39 % respectively, p<0,05), and the frequency of blood group 0, on the contrary, was significantly lower (27,69 % and 36,71 %, p<0,05). The frequency of blood group A was particularly high among patients who died from ARVI COVID-19 - 45,51 % vs. 34,39 %, p=0,008. In some groups of patients, there was a decrease in the frequency of Rh-negative individuals (2,23 % vs. 8,30 %, p<0,001).
