Background:
The ABO, Rh, and Kell blood group antigens were clinically significant. The frequencies of the blood groups revealed geographical variation. Knowledge of antigen frequencies is important to assess the risk of alloimmunization and to guide the probability of finding antigen-negative donor blood. No data are available regarding the frequencies of blood group antigens in Taif City. This study aimed to evaluate the frequencies of ABO, Rh, and Kell blood group antigens in Saudi donors in Taif city.
Materials and Methods:
A retrospective study was carried out using data from 2073 Saudi donors of both sexes, donated blood at the blood bank department of King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital in Taif between May 2016 and May 2019. All donors were evaluated for the ABO, Rh, and Kell blood groups.
Results:
Of the 2073 donors, the ABO blood groups of the donors were O (53.8%), A (24.9%), B (16.4%), and AB (4.6%). Rh-positive samples were (87.8%) and (12.1%) were Rh-negative. The most common Rh antigen was e (95.8%), followed by the c and C antigens (81.7% and 62.3%, respectively). The lowest Rh antigens frequency was (31.3%) for E. DCce was the highest phenotype (29.5%). The KEL1 antigen was present in 22.1% of the donors. The results were compared with those of other studies conducted in Saudi Arabia.
Conclusion and Recommendation:
This was the first study conducted in Taif city, which represented the frequency of the typed antigens among Saudi blood donors, to be statistically different from other studies in Saudi Arabia. The O blood group was the most frequent blood type, while the AB blood type was the least frequent. This study helps to create a regional donor database to obtain negative antigen blood for patients with unexpected antibodies and to assemble red cell panels to offer compatible blood to multi-transfused cases. |
