Abstract

The Data of this paper were taken from a sample of 1000 patients infected with COVID-19, who were hospitalized in Al-Zahra Teaching Hospital in Kut city – Iraq, in the Al Shifa center, during the period (06/08/2020 to 12/13/2020). A normal oxygen level for healthy lungs is 75 and 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). As shown by the pulse oximeter, between 95-100% (Its mean 75- 100 mm Hg). D-dimer tests, normal equal to or less than 500 nanograms/ml. All samples of hospitalized patients are those whose blood oxygen levels were recorded at less than 95% and D-dimer test levels more than 500 ng/ml. This was the study's indicator of acute lung infection with COVID-19. The most commonly recorded blood type infected with COVID-19 around the world was A+, followed by B+, and then AB+, while O+ was the blood group least infected with the virus. According to this study's design, blood type AB has the lowest prevalence in communities worldwide. For this reason, individuals with this blood type were the lowest percentage among those who entered the Al-Shifa Center in late 2020. Similarly, the incidence of severe acute respiratory infection due to COVID-19 in people with blood type A may also be within the normal range, and there may be no relationship between blood types and COVID-19 infection. After the study, we recommended establishing accurate databases for population-based blood type ratios to ensure clear statistical studies and more accurate analysis of patient data. The results showed no clear association between blood type and acute respiratory infection due to COVID-19. We recommend providing clear data for every individual worldwide, identifying their blood type, linked to a global database that provides a clear definition of the percentage of blood type distribution worldwide. Currently available data does not provide accurate information.
