Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The causal relationship between gut microbiota and puerperal sepsis (PS) remains unclear, and there is a lack of in-depth research regarding the potential mediating role of immune cells in this context. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between gut microbiota and PS using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and to assess the mediating effects of immune cells on the...
