The ABO blood group was determined using the slide agglutination method, while the BT and CT blood groups were determined using the Dukes and capillary tube methods, respectively. Statistical Analysis: The correlation of BT and CT with blood group was investigated using Chi-square analysis. When the p value was less than 0.05, statistical significance was evaluated. The goal of this study was to discover the most common ABO...
