Özet

Aim: This study analyzes blood group distribution among Syrian and local blood donors in Türkiye, focusing on ABO and Rh types to understand donation patterns and stock management.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study included 77,588 Syrian and 4,358,976 local donors who donated to the Turkish Red Crescent from 2019 to 2021. Donor data were analyzed by age, gender, education, and blood type using statistical tests in OpenEpi.
Results: Syrians made up 1.75% of donors, peaking in Kilis (16.16%) and lowest in Hatay (0.77%). They were mostly male (84.8%) and younger (mean age 31.5 years). Blood type O and B were more common, while A was less frequent. Rh (+) prevalence was higher.
Conclusion: Syrian donors’ distinct blood group distribution affects stock management. Higher O and B type frequencies and demographic differences require tailored recruitment and inventory strategies. Regional variations highlight the need for targeted collection efforts to ensure a stable, compatible blood supply.
