Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between COVID-19 and blood groups, focusing on the ABO blood typing system and the Rh factor. With specific objectives in mind, the research delved into discerning any potential links between different blood group types and the impact on the severity of COVID-19 symptoms. Employing a systematic methodology, a diverse cohort was analyzed to identify potential associations or predispositions linked to specific blood groups concerning COVID-19 transmission and disease severity. The study's outcomes offer insights into the potential relevance of blood group types in understanding the dynamics of COVID-19, potentially contributing to tailored preventive strategies and personalized clinical approaches for managing the disease.
