This mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed to investigate whether endometriosis, overall and stratified by stage (I/II vs III/IV), confers causal effects on adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with poorly understood mechanisms. Inflammatory proteins are hypothesized to play a causal role, but evidence remains limited. We performed a 2-sample Mendelian randomization study …
Although observational studies suggest a link between socioeconomic status (SES) and hormone-related gynecologic diseases, the causal direction and mediating mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the causal relationships …
While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F-statistic = …
To assess the potential impact of years of education, which serves as a measure of socioeconomic inequality, on the occurrence of endometriosis, and to quantify the potential influence of modifiable …
Endometriosis has been linked to several systemic complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), hypertension, stroke, and ischemic stroke. The potential causal relationship between endometriosis and …
Background: Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological symptom among reproductive-aged women, associated with substantial pain and decreased quality of life. Previous studies have suggested that inflammatory and hormonal fluctuations linked to …
Existing evidence shows the importance of circulating cytokines in studying female reproductive system dysfunction. Endometriosis (EM) is thought to be associated with multiple immune cytokines, but its causality has not …
The relationship between abortion and endometriosis (EMS) has been inconsistent in previous observational studies and remains controversial. We intended to examine the causal relationship between abortion and EMS.
