Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a known complication of fractures. This study aimed to explore the genetic causal relationship between DVT and fracture sites.
The exposures analyzed in this study included fracture of femur (FFE), fracture of lower leg, including ankle (FLLA), fracture of shoulder and upper arm (FSUA), fracture of forearm (FFO), fracture of rib, sternum and thoracic spine (FRSTS) and fracture of lumbar spine and pelvis (FLSP). DVT as the outcome. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach was employed to investigate the genetic causal relationship, and a series of sensitivity analyses were conducted.
The findings indicated no genetic causal relationship between FFE ( = 0.569, OR 95% CI = 1.001 [0.998-1.003]), FLLA ( = 0.371, OR 95% CI = 0.999 [0.995-1.002]), FSUA ( = 0.871, OR 95% CI = 1.000 [0.998-1.002]), FFO ( = 0.281, OR 95% CI = 1.001 [0.999-1.002]), FRSTS ( = 0.346, OR 95% CI = 0.999 [0.996-1.001]) or FLSP ( = 0.759, OR 95% CI = 1.000 [0.999-1.002]) and DVT. Sensitivity analyses reinforced the robustness.
This study indicate that no genetic causal relationship exists between DVT and fracture site, the observed association may be attributable to non-genetic factors.
深静脉血栓形成(DVT)是骨折已知的并发症。本研究旨在探讨DVT与骨折部位之间的遗传因果关系。
本研究分析的暴露因素包括股骨骨折(FFE)、小腿骨折(包括踝关节骨折,FLLA)、肩部和上臂骨折(FSUA)、前臂骨折(FFO)、肋骨、胸骨和胸椎骨折(FRSTS)以及腰椎和骨盆骨折(FLSP)。以DVT作为结局。采用两样本孟德尔随机化(MR)方法研究遗传因果关系,并进行了一系列敏感性分析。
研究结果表明,FFE(=0.569,OR 95%CI=1.001[0.998-1.003])、FLLA(=0.371,OR 95%CI=0.999[0.995-1.002])、FSUA(=0.871,OR 95%CI=1.000[0.998-1.002])、FFO(=0.281,OR 95%CI=1.001[0.999-1.002])、FRSTS(=0.346,OR 95%CI=0.999[0.996-1.001])或FLSP(=0.759,OR 95%CI=1.000[0.999-1.002])与DVT之间不存在遗传因果关系。敏感性分析增强了结果的稳健性。
本研究表明,DVT与骨折部位之间不存在遗传因果关系,观察到的关联可能归因于非遗传因素。
