Genetic risk factors for postoperative complications after major surgery and shared genetic aetiology with non-postoperative phenotypes
2025-12-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Up to 15% of patients worldwide experience serious postoperative complications after major surgery. We explored the genetic basis of five common postoperative complications and whether they share genetic aetiology with their non-postoperative equivalents. <h4>Methods</h4> We performed case-control genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using UK Biobank data from >140,000 participants. The pri...
