We detected a significant difference to the German reference distribution of the AB0 system (Chi(2) 19.34, df 3, p &lt; 0.001). Rhesus factor has no impact on AB0-distribution (Chi(2) 4.13, df 3, p = 0.25), but differs significantly from reference distribution-probably due to initial AB0-variation (Chi(2) 4.82, df 1, p = 0.028). The odds ratio for blood group A is 2.01 and for blood group 0 is 0.5. <br> The incidence of PC in the German cohort is highly associated with the AB0-system as well. <strong>More patients with blood group A suffer from PC<\/strong> (p &lt; 0.001) whereas <strong>blood group 0 was less frequent in patients with PC<\/strong> (p &lt; 0.001). Thus, our findings support the results from other non-German surveys.
