Abstract

The paper presents the results of the application of the method of InterCriteria Analysis on a dataset of the blood group of 47562 Bulgarian individuals, patients of the University Hospital “Saint Anna”, Sofia, Bulgaria collected in the period from 2015 to 2021. Apart of the ABO system blood groups, the recorded data contain information about the patients’ A1 and A2 subgroups and the Rh(D) antigen. In the current leg of research, in addition to the easily extracted information about the patients’ year of birth and sex, here for the first time, the patients’ birthplace regions are algorithmically extracted on the basis of the recorded personal identification numbers. This allows us to have a deeper and more insightful picture of the regional distribution of the frequencies of the ABO system, A1 and A2 subgroups and the Rh(D) antigen in the frames of the Bulgarian population, which is a level of detail that has not been yet reported in the existing literature and is considered an important contribution of the current research work to the state-of-the-art. The conducted InterCriteria Analysis on these data gives additional details that may help decision makers on national and regional level with respect to regional and cross-regional demand and supply of blood and blood products in Bulgaria.
