Examining socioeconomic differences in sepsis risk and mediation by modifiable factors: a Mendelian randomization study
Higher educational attainment is strongly associated with a reduced risk of sepsis, pointing to important socioeconomic differences in this disease. The results also suggest that interventions targeting modifiable or preventable factors could contribute to reducing the socioeconomic differences in sepsis risk.
