Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent observational studies have revealed an inconclusive correlation between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and sepsis, accompanied by an uncertain understanding of the causal relationship between the two. To investigate the causality between IBD and sepsis, we employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHODS: A genome-wide significant threshold (P < 5 × 10-8) was achieved in...
