Abstract excerpt
Background: Recent evidence suggests that the gut microbiome and metabolites are intricately involved in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) pathogenesis, yet the precise causal relationships remain unclear due to confounding factors and reverse causation. This study employs bidirectional two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) to clarify these connections. Methods: Summary data from publicly available...
