Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Objective: The potential association between sepsis risk and circulating levels of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) has been a focus of research; however, the causal relationship between them remains to be elucidated. We hypothesize a causal association between genetically predicted FGFs, FGFRs, and sepsis risk, and we conduct a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to validate...
