KAN GRUPLARI İNFERTİLİTEDE ETKİN Mİ? BİR TERSİYER MERKEZİN 8 YILLIK VERİLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Objective
 The aim is to compare blood groups between spontaneously
 pregnant fertile patients and infertile female
 patients undergoing treatment for infertility diagnosis
 is defined as the failure to achieve pregnancy despite
 regular unprotected sexual intercourse for one year
 during the reproductive period without using any contraceptive
 method.
 Material and Method
 Our study includes statistically evaluating the blood
 groups and demographic data of a total of 608 patients,
 including 304 fertile patients who presented for
 routine pregnancy follow-up at the Department of Obstetrics
 and Gynecology, Süleyman Demirel University,
 between January 2015 and January 2023, and 304
 infertile patients receiving treatment at the Süleyman
 Demirel University Assisted Reproductive Techniques
 (ART) Center.
 Results
 The mean age of the volunteers in the fertile group
 was calculated as 30.68±4.70, while the mean age of
 the volunteers in the infertile group was 32.50±5.35.
 Blood group A was found to be dominant in both the
 fertile and infertile groups, followed by blood groups
 O, B, and AB. When compared based on education,
 it was determined that the majority of patients in the
 infertile group had received undergraduate or postgraduate
 education. Income levels were categorized as
 low, medium, and high income based on occupational
 distributions in both groups, revealing that the majority
 of participants in both groups had a low-income level.
 Conclusion
 Infertility is a multifactorial condition resulting from a
 combination of various factors such as genetics, environment,
 lifestyle, and health. The prevalence of infertility
 increases with age, and blood group distribution
 does not have a direct impact on infertility.
