2021-07-05
Abstract excerpt
Background: Emerging evidence shows that periodontal disease (PD) may increase the risk of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) complications. Here, we undertook a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study, and investigated for the first time the possible causal impact of PD on host susceptibility to COVID-19 and its severity.<br><br>Methods: Summary statistics of COVID-19 susceptibility and severity was retrie...
