An automated blood type analyzer was used to determine Rh phenotypes, which were then applied clinically for ABO and Rh blood type-matching in transfusions.Results: Analysis of 28672 RhD-positive donors identified 13 RhD variants and eight Rh phenotypes, with the most common being CCee (42.69%) and CcEe (35.27%). Antigen frequencies were e (92.07%), C (87.85%), c (56.75%), and E (47.65%). Among 307 RhD-negative donors, seven Rh phenotypes were identified, with ccee (60.26%) and Ccee (29.32%) being the predominant ones. Antigen frequencies were e (99.67%), c (96.09%), C (34.53%), and E (6.84%). These findings supported 1834 ABO- and Rh- blood type-matching transfusions, but no significant difference was observed between ABO-compatible and dual-system compatible transfusions (p > 0.05). Additionally, it was found that there are significant differences compared to populations from India and other regions (p > 0.05).Conclusion: In this region of East China, the prevalence of RhD variants among voluntary blood donors was 0.045%. The predominant Rh phenotypes were CCDee and CcDEe, with the highest frequencies observed for the e and C antigens. And the frequency of Rh phenotypes in this region differs from related studies in other areas. It is essential to strengthen the establishment of a rare blood type database in East China to provide data support for clinical compatible blood transfusion.Keywords: Rh phenotype, Rh antigen, Rh antibody, compatible blood transfusion
