Summary: The study found that individuals with blood group O are less susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to those in the non-O group. However, the difference in effect size was significantly lower in cohort studies compared to case control studies. There was no evidence indicating an effect of blood group O on the severity of the disease in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Summary: This meta-analysis found a significant association between ABO blood group and the risk of preeclampsia (PE), with pregnant women with AB blood group being more likely to develop PE. The risk of O, A, and B blood groups in relation to PE was not significant. It is suggested that more attention should be paid to pregnant women with AB blood group who have high blood pressure but not enough to diagnose PE.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that ABO blood types are associated with the risk of PICC-associated VTE. Blood types A, B, and AB are risk factors for PICC-associated VTE, while blood type O is associated with a decreased risk of PICC-associated VTE, especially in Asian populations.

Summary: Compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) has a slightly higher short-term mortality but the difference is not significant in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease (MCAD). Similar rates of mid-term survival and other short-term post-operative complications were found between the two groups. HCR has shorter intensive care unit stays and reduced requirement for blood transfusion.

Summary: According to the meta-analysis, FFR-guided PCI has a lower risk of all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction compared to non-physiology-guided coronary revascularization. However, there were no differences between the groups in terms of major adverse cardiac events and repeat revascularization.

Summary: This study identified that carriers of blood group AB are more susceptible to HIV infection. Positive relationships between AB blood group and HIV infection were found in studies conducted in Asia, among patient populations, with lower sample sizes, in high-income countries, and those with moderate quality scores.

Summary: This study found that inflammatory biomarkers, including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, high-sensitive CRP, IL-6, TNF-a, and RDW, were elevated in patients with coronary artery ectasia compared to healthy controls. The findings suggest that inflammatory dysregulation is involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery ectasia and should be further investigated.

Summary: The impact of ABO blood type on the development of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients is controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that non-O blood type is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients, especially in post-operative urological cancer patients.

Summary: This study aims to examine the effects of N. sativa on blood pressure in adults. The meta-analysis suggests that N. sativa supplementation can effectively reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, indicating that it could be used as an effective approach to blood pressure management.
