Mendelian randomization analysis reveals causal association of anthropometric measures on sepsis risk and mortality.

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to explore the potential causalities of fat mass, nonfat mass and height (henceforth, 'anthropometric measures') with sepsis risk and mortality. We conducted the Mendelian randomization (MR) investigation using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics of anthropometric measures, sepsis, and sepsis mortality. The GWAS summary data from the UK Biobank was used....
