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.

Özet

Amaç İnfertilite, reprodüktif dönemdeki çiftlerin herhangi doğum kontrol yöntemi kullanmaksızın bir yıl düzenli cinsel ilişkiye rağmen gebelik durumunun sağlanamamasıdır. Bu çalışmada spontan gebe kalan fertil hastalar ile infertilite tanısı nedeniyle tedavi gören infertil kadın hastalar arasında kan gruplarının karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem Çalışmamız, Ocak 2015-Ocak 2023 yılları arasında Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Kadın Hastalıkları Doğum Anabilim Dalı polikliniğine rutin gebelik takibi için başvuran ve spontan gebe kalan 304 fertil hasta ile infertilite tanısı alarak Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Üremeye Yardımcı Tedavi (ÜYTE) Merkezi’nde tedavi alan 304 infertil olmak üzere toplam 608 hastanın kan grupları ve demografik verilerinin istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmesini içermektedir. Bulgular Fertil grupta yer alan gönüllülerin yaş ortalaması 30,68±4,70 hesaplanırken, infertil gruptaki gönüllülerin yaş ortalaması ise 32,50±5,35 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Fertil ve infertil grupta yer alan gönüllülerin kan grupları A kan grubunun her iki grupta da baskın olduğu ve bunu sırasıyla 0, B ve AB kan gruplarının izlediği tespit edilmiştir. Gruplar eğitim durumlarına göre karşılaştırıldığında, infertil gruptaki hastaların büyük çoğunluğunun lisans veya lisansüstü seviyede eğitim aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Gruplar arasındaki mesleki dağılımlara göre gelir düzeylerine ait veriler ise düşük, orta ve yüksek gelir düzeyi olmak üzere üç kategoride değerlendirilmiştir. Buna göre her iki grupta da katılımcılarının büyük çoğunluğunun düşük gelir düzeyine sahip olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç İnfertilite genetik, çevre, yaşam tarzı ve sağlık gibi çeşitli faktörlerin bir araya gelmesiyle ortaya çıkan çok faktörlü bir durumdur. İnfertilite prevalansının yaşla orantılı olarak arttığı ve kan grubu dağılımlarının infertilite üzerinden doğrudan bir etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
