Genetic Liability to Rheumatoid Arthritis in Relation to Coronary Artery Disease and Stroke Risk

TLDR
To assess the causality of the associations of rheumatoid arthritis with coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke using the Mendelian randomization approach, a large number of patients with RA were diagnosed with at least some form of arthritis.

The causal effect of physical activity intensity on COVID-19 susceptibility, hospitalization, and severity: Evidence from a mendelian randomization study

TL;DR: In this article , a Mendelian randomization (MR) study was performed to verify the causal influence of light and moderate-to-vigorous PA on COVID-19 susceptibility, hospitalization, and severity.

The genetic contribution of inflammation to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a method for the extraction of features from a set of features, which is then used to construct a model of the user's behavior. But they do not provide any supporting information for the model.

Is Rheumatoid Arthritis a Causal Factor in Cardiovascular Disease?

TL;DR: Traditional risk factors for CVD do not fully explain the elevated risk in RA, and Yuan et al address the question whether the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis is related to CVD.

Mendelian randomization with invalid instruments: effect estimation and bias detection through Egger regression

TL;DR: An adaption of Egger regression can detect some violations of the standard instrumental variable assumptions, and provide an effect estimate which is not subject to these violations, and provides a sensitivity analysis for the robustness of the findings from a Mendelian randomization investigation.
