Journal Title: Journal of Medical Biomedical and Applied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: ABO blood group; besides its fundamental role in transfusion medicine, it has a causal role in predisposing to several human diseases. This study aimed to determine the ABO blood groups of neonates born to diabetic mothers in relation to congenital heart diseases (CHDs) in King Abdullah Hospital, Bisha, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: the study included 151 full-term neonates, aged from 0 to 28 days, ad- mitted in the neonatal intensive care unit. The study covered the period from July 2011 to August 2015. The cases were received either from King Abdullah Hospital or referred from nearby primary hospitals. Mothers were grouped as pregestational and gestational diabetics. ABO blood grouping and echocardiogram were done to all neonates included in the study. Results: Twenty (13.25%) of neonates with congenital heart disease possessed blood group (O+ve), 10(6.62%) possessed (A+ve), 5(3.31%) possessed (B+ve), while only 1(0.66%) possessed (O-ve), no others blood groups with congenital heart diseases found in the study. The congenital heart diseases in (O+ve) blood group were; atrial septal defect (ASD) (10/20), patent foramen ovale (PFO) (5/20), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (4/20) & hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) (1/20). CHDs in (A+ve) group was PDA (4/10), ASD (3/10) & PFO (3/10). CHDs in (B+ve) group; were HOCM
