Sažetak
To the best o f our knowledge, the frequency o f ABO system blood groups in some o f the most common oral precancerous lesions has not yet been investigated. Therefore, the frequency o f particular ABO blood groups in patients with oral precancerous lesions as compared to the general population of the Republic o f Croatia, and the frequency o f patients’ blood groups according to sex, were studied. Furthermore, the aim o f the study was also to determine whether the frequency o f blood groups could serve as a basis to assess their possible association with oral precancerous lesions. One hundred patients with oral precanceroses, 49 males and 51 females, aged 16-82 years (mean age, 57 years) were examined. The examinations included oral testing, pathohistologic examinations and blood group determination by standard methods. Results showed blood groups 0, A, B and AB to be present in 55%, 26%, 10% and 9% o f the subjects, respectively.Comparison o f the results obtained in te study o f blood group distribution in the population of Croatia produced statistically significant parameters, since the frequency o f the blood group 0 in the subjects with oral precancerous lesions was considerably higher than in the general population. This applied to the male subjects in particular, in whom a statistically significant difference was obtained when compared to the general population of Croatia. Therefore, additional epidemiologic studies o f the blood group frequency in all those suffering from oral precancerous lesions are proposed.
