Abstract

Background: The ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood group system is the most important system for blood transfusion purposes. The incidence of ABO and Rh groups varies markedly in different races, ethnic groups as well as socioeconomic groups in different parts of the world. This study was conducted to determine the frequency of ABO and Rh blood groups in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective data-based study was conducted at the blood bank of Acharya Shri Chandar College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Sidra, Jammu over a period of three years. A total of 12,056 donors were studied. The commonest blood group was B (3698, 30.68%) followed by O (3685, 30.56%). Rh+ donors were predominant constituting 95.16% whereas only 4.84% donors were Rh-ve.

Results: Blood groups of 12,056 donors were studied. All patients aged between 18-60 years. Most of the donors were from 21-40 years. Out of these, 11610 (96.30%) were males and 446 (3.70%) were females. Rh +ve donors were predominant constituting 95.16% whereas only 4.84% donors were Rh-ve.

Conclusion: The knowledge of distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups at local and regional levels is helpful in effective management of blood banks and safe blood transfusion services.

Keywords: Blood Group, ABO, Rhesus, Donors.
