Abstract
Aim: To study the prevalence of Rh negative ABO blood group antigens in a tertiary care hospital, North-east India. Objective: To find out the prevalence of Rh negative ABO blood groups in a tertiary care hospital. To identify the commonest type of Rh negative ABO blood group. Methods and Materials: it is a retrospective study over last 5 years( 2013 to 2018 February) done at blood bank of Tripura Medical College among voluntary blood donors. Result: Total of 10000 cases over last 5 years ( 2013 to 2018, February) are studied and Rh negative ABO blood group cases are 329(3.29%) and O blood group shares the maximum (1.31 %) of Rh negative type. Conclusion: The frequency of Rhesus (D) negative ABO blood group antigens is very low. The blood bank services need to develop innovative strategies targeting donors who are more likely to boost blood stocks in the region in reducing mismatched blood transfusion, maternal mortality rate and haemolytic disease in newborn, by assuring safe and sufficient blood supply when needed.
