Description
Why did some patients fall far sicker with COVID-19 than others? Yongjie Xu and co-authors check one suspect: blood group. Their 2025 study looks back at patients held in a hospital in Fujian, China, during a two-month wave from December 2022 to January 2023.
Staff pulled records on each patient's blood group, lab tests, illness level on arrival, and final outcome. The team then compared health profiles and risk traits across the blood groups to see whether any group fared worse. Blood type has drawn wide interest as a trait that might shape both the chance of catching the virus and the course of the illness. The study adds local data to that debate, drawn from a single centre and a short window.
