ASSOCIATION OF BLOOD TYPE WITH TRANSFUSIONS AND MORTALITY IN TERTIARY HOSPITAL
Among 73811 patients in a tertiary hospital, a connection of ABO blood system type with the frequency of transfusions and mortality was evaluated. Type B patients were 9.8% less likely to need red blood cell transfusions (p<0.05) and 24.9% for transfusion of plasma compared to recipients of other blood types (p<0.05). The relationship between the ABO type and the mortality of red blood cells and plasma recipients is absent, which was regarded as a sign of the treatment effectiveness.
