Few studies on SARS-CoV-1 demonstrated that there exists a relationship between infection risk and the blood types and that the blood group O was somewhat protective against the SARS-CoV-1 [5, 6] . The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution and relationship between the blood groups amongst the COVID-19 patients and their clinical outcomes at a referral university hospital. The present study included 207 patients who were followed at Hacettepe University School of Medicine Hospitals between 10/03/2020 and 05/05/2020 with the COVID-19 infection who were positive for the SARS-CoV-2 RNA test through PCR from the nasopharyngeal swab, and who were approached in accordance with the treatment guidelines of the Turkish Ministry of Health.	./cache/cord-278032-27ikx97x.txt	./txt/cord-278032-27ikx97x.txt
