Abstract:Background
The causal relationship between COPD and respiratory TB is still unclear due to limited evidence from prospective studies. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the causal relationship between COPD and respiratory TB using this two-sample Bayesian weighted Mendelian randomization (BWMR) study.
Methods The genetic instrumental variants (IVs) for COPD and respiratory TB were obtained from the IEU Open GWAS project in 2021. The inverse variance weighted (IWV) method was used as the main statist… Show more
