Background
ABO and RH are the major blood grouping system .which can effective transfusion compatibility .The distribution of blood group ABO and RH varies across the world according to the population
Aims
To get the knowledge of distribution of ABO and RH blood group for effective management of inventory
Methods
This is retrospective study conducted at Nepal Red Cross Society Central Blood Transfusion Service. Data from January 2010 to January 2016 were collected from donor management software .The data includes socio demographic data and Transfusion Transmissible infectious and other laboratory defects of blood donors.
Results
Out of 440720 blood donor, 384308 (87.20%) were male and 56412 (12.8%) were female. The commonest ABO blood group present was A (31.64 %) followed by O (30.79 %), B (25.94 %) and AB (8.88 %) in blood donors; while in Rhesus system, 428600 (97.25%) donors were Rh-Positive and 12120 (2.75%) donors were Rh-Negative.
Among the various ABO blood group “A” is the commonest and Rh Positive nearly equal to 97%.
Conclusion
Similarity of distribution of ABO and Rh blood group were reported in south Asian countries. This indicates the influence factor of genetic drift and ancestral link with Indian sub continent. These studies has a important proposition regarding the inventory management of blood bank and transfusion services.
