Abstract
Background: Epistaxis is one of the most common otorhinolaryngologic emergencies in ear, nose, and throat clinics. Blood grouping is routinely done in patients with epistaxis. Objectives: To determine the association between ABO blood type and epistaxis. Methods: This retrospective study involved 260 patients with idiopathic epistaxis. Patients with risk factors for bleeding, including anticoagulant use, thrombocytopenia, hypertension, liver diseases, elevated bleeding time, low coagulation factor levels, or any benign/malignant tumor, were excluded from the study. Thus, only patients with idiopathic epistaxis were included in this study. Results: The distributions of blood groups in patients with idiopathic epistaxis were ( AB < B
背景:鼻出血是耳鼻喉科最常见的耳鼻喉科急症之一。对鼻出血患者常规进行血型检查。目的:探讨ABO血型与鼻出血的关系。方法:对260例特发性鼻出血患者进行回顾性研究。有出血危险因素的患者，包括抗凝剂使用、血小板减少、高血压、肝脏疾病、出血时间延长、凝血因子水平低或任何良性/恶性肿瘤，均被排除在研究之外。因此，本研究仅包括特发性鼻出血患者。结果:特发性鼻出血患者的血型分布为(AB < B
