Causal Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Bidirectional Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Our study established a causal link between 11 specific gut microbiota species and COPD, offering novel insights and valuable references for targeted therapies in the clinical management of COPD. However, our results were mainly based on the analysis of database, and further clinical studies are needed to clarify the effects of gut microbiota on COPD and its specific protective mechanism.
