Genetic evidence causally linking gastroesophageal reflux disease to cholecystitis: a two-sample mendelian randomization study
GERD was positively associated with the risk of cholecystitis. This study provides insights into potential avenues for the development of prevention strategies and treatment options for cholecystitis in patients with GERD. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex interplay between GERD and cholecystitis.
