GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD GROUP VARIATION IN NAJAF GOVERNORATE (2023-2024)

Аннотация

The research aims to show how blood groups are distributed in the Najaf Governorate and analyze them according to the main blood groups (A, B, AB, O). The expected results include a different distribution of blood groups across urban and rural areas and the potential effects of social and economic factors on this distribution. Therefore, the main focus of the research was to know the prevailing blood groups and the degree of diversity of those groups according to the administrative units in the study area. This study has practical implications as it contributes to enhancing the understanding of the spatial distribution of blood groups. This understanding can be used to improve health emergency plans, blood donation strategies, and provide guidelines for health care planning in the governorate. The research includes collecting blood sample data from different areas in the governorate and analyzing them using advanced geographic information systems maps. These maps are instrumental in identifying patterns and spatial distributions of common and rare blood groups, and the impact of demographic and environmental factors on these distributions. The most essential results were that there are administrative units with repetitive values, i.e., stable areas where certain blood types prevail, unlike other regions where repetitive values are low or non-existent, i.e., unstable areas where the percentage of blood types changes.
