- Abstract
Observed rates of infection and hospitalization in Black or African-American patients ( I n i = 91) by blood type were 46% type O, 27% type A, 21% type B, and 5% type AB, compared to expected blood type frequencies of 49% type O, 27% type A, 20% type B, and 4% type AB. Dear Editor, Early data on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had suggested that ABO type is associated with variation in clinical presentation and patient outcomes. The frequency of blood groups was 43% type O, 34% type A, 18% type B, and 5% type AB.
