Effects of ABO blood groups and RH-factor on COVID-19 transmission, course and outcome: A review

Mohammad T. Abuawwad et al.

Summary: ABO and Rh blood grouping systems are non-modifiable risk factors that influence the susceptibility, severity, and outcomes of COVID-19 infection. This review examines the associations between blood types and COVID-19 globally, aiming to provide insights for clinical practice. The results suggest that blood type O offers protection against infection, while blood type A is associated with a higher risk of exacerbation. Rh positive individuals are more prone to severe infection and complications. However, further investigation is needed due to conflicting findings reported by some studies.

A clinical case definition of post-COVID-19 condition by a Delphi consensus

Joan B. Soriano et al.

Summary: People with COVID-19 might experience long-term symptoms known as long COVID or long-haul COVID. The lack of a standardized definition hinders the understanding and treatment of this condition. In a WHO-led Delphi process, a consensus definition was developed, stating that post-COVID-19 condition occurs in individuals with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with symptoms lasting for at least 2 months and impacting everyday functioning. This common framework provides a foundation for future studies and therapy.

Joint patient and clinician priority setting to identify 10 key research questions regarding the long-term sequelae of COVID-19

Linzy Houchen-Wolloff et al.

Summary: Given the large numbers of people infected and high rates of ongoing morbidity, it is necessary to conduct research to address the needs of adult survivors of COVID-19 living with ongoing symptoms (long COVID). A research prioritisation process was completed, incorporating views from adults with ongoing symptoms of COVID-19, carers, clinicians, and clinical researchers, to direct resource and research efforts. The top 10 research questions, identified through an independently mediated workshop, include understanding the underlying mechanisms, developing diagnostic tools, investigating the trajectory of recovery, and evaluating interventions during acute and persistent phases of the illness.

Persistence of Naturally Acquired and Functional SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in Blood Donors One Year after Infection

Verena Nunhofer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels among Austrian blood donors within the first year after infection. The study found that anti-N antibody levels declined while anti-S antibody levels remained stable. Blood group AB showed lower antibody levels compared to other blood groups. Additionally, one fifth of the individuals were unaware of their previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Circulating SARS-CoV-2 spike N439K variants maintain fitness while evading antibody-mediated immunity

Emma C. Thomson et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 virus can mutate and evade immunity, with mutations like N439K conferring resistance against neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and enhancing binding affinity to hACE2 receptor. Despite similar in vitro replication fitness and clinical outcomes compared to wild type, N439K mutation highlights the importance of ongoing molecular surveillance for guiding vaccine and therapeutic development and usage.

Summary: With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more attention has been drawn to the persistent symptoms of long COVID, yet systematic reviews on the type and prevalence of symptoms are lacking. A study found that there are over 100 different symptoms reported in long COVID patients, with significant variations in prevalence, potentially related to unknown factors.

High-dimensional characterization of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19

Ziyad Al-Aly et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively describes the post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 using national healthcare databases, finding increased risk of death and use of health resources beyond the first 30 days of illness, as well as incident sequelae in various organ systems, increased use of therapeutic agents, and evidence of laboratory abnormalities. The findings show a risk gradient according to the severity of acute COVID-19 infection and highlight the burden of health loss experienced by patients who survive the acute phase.

Does blood type affect the COVID-19 infection pattern?

Mattia Miotto et al.

Summary: In the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have found it challenging to understand the geographical differences in virus contagiousness and lethality, as well as the potential role of infected individuals' blood types in infectivity and disease progression. A recent hypothesis suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may retain erythrocyte antigens from the source individual during transmission, potentially triggering an immune response in the recipient. This hypothesis implies a blood type-dependent infection rate and could contribute to the observed heterogeneity in epidemic spread.
