However, there is a lack of literature investigating joint mother\/father ABO blood type in a large cohort. This study aimed to investigate the association between couple combinations for ABO blood groups and assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes in patients undergoing <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> fertilization (IVF)\/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This retrospective cohort study included 30,717 couples who underwent IVF cycles between 2010 and 2019. The clinical outcomes of IVF treatment were the primary outcome. History of spontaneous miscarriage, embryo quality, and birth sex, weights, defects rate were also studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was no difference in the baseline demographics between the blood type groups. There was a statistically significant positive association between the combination of female blood type AB and male blood type AB with biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and live birth rate (OR 1.36; 95% CI, 1.05\u20131.78; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.02 and OR 1.31; 95% CI, 1.0\u20131.68; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.031 and OR 1.28; 95% CI, 1.01\u20131.63; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.041 respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed between joint mother\/father ABO blood types and high-quality embryo rate, early abortion rate, birth sex, birth weights, and birth defect
