Abstract

Background

The long-term impacts of COVID-19 on human health are a major concern, yet comprehensive evaluations of its effects on various health conditions are lacking.

Methods

This study aims to evaluate the role of various diseases in relation to COVID-19 by analyzing genetic data from a large-scale population over 2,000,000 individuals. A bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization approach was used, with exposures including COVID-19 susceptibility, hospitalization, and severity, and outcomes encompassing 86 different diseases or traits. A reverse Mendelian randomization analysis was performed to assess the impact of these diseases on COVID-19.

Results

Our analysis identified causal relationships between COVID-19 susceptibility and several conditions, including breast cancer (OR = 1.0073, 95% CI = 1.0032–1.0114, p = 5 × 10 − 4), ER + breast cancer (OR = 0.5252, 95% CI = 0.3589–0.7685, p = 9 × 10 − 4), and heart failure (OR = 1.0026, 95% CI = 1.001–1.0042, p = 0.002). COVID-19 hospitalization was causally linked to heart failure (OR = 1.0017, 95% CI = 1.0006–1.0028, p = 0.002) and Alzheimer’s disease (OR = 1.5092, 95% CI = 1.1942–1.9072, p = 0.0006). COVID-19 severity had causal effects on primary biliary cirrhosis (OR = 2.6333, 95% CI = 1.8274–3.7948, p = 2.059 × 10 − 7), celiac disease (OR = 0.0708, 95% CI = 0.0538–0.0932, p = 9.438 × 10–80), and Alzheimer’s disease (OR = 1.5092, 95% CI = 1.1942–1.9072, p = 0.0006). Reverse MR analysis indicated that rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic nephropathy, multiple sclerosis, and total testosterone (female) influence COVID-19 outcomes. We assessed heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy to ensure result reliability and employed the Steiger directionality test to confirm the direction of causality.

Conclusions

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the causal relationships between COVID-19 and diverse health conditions. Our findings highlight the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on human health, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring and targeted interventions for affected individuals. Future research should explore these relationships to develop comprehensive healthcare strategies.

利用大规模遗传数据评估 COVID-19 对多系统疾病的因果影响

背景COVID-19对人类健康的长期影响是一个重大问题，但目前还缺乏对其对各种健康状况影响的全面评估。方法本研究旨在通过分析超过200万人的大规模人群的遗传数据，评估各种疾病与COVID-19的关系。研究采用了双向双样本孟德尔随机化方法，暴露包括 COVID-19 易感性、住院和严重程度，结果包括 86 种不同的疾病或性状。结果我们的分析确定了 COVID-19 易感性与几种疾病之间的因果关系，包括乳腺癌（OR = 1.0073, 95% CI = 1.0032-1.0114, p = 5 × 10 - 4）、ER + 乳腺癌（OR = 0.5252, 95% CI = 0.3589-0.7685, p = 9 × 10 - 4）和心力衰竭（OR = 1.0026, 95% CI = 1.001-1.0042, p = 0.002）。COVID-19住院与心力衰竭（OR = 1.0017，95% CI = 1.0006-1.0028，p = 0.002）和阿尔茨海默病（OR = 1.5092，95% CI = 1.1942-1.9072，p = 0.0006）有因果关系。COVID-19 严重程度对原发性胆汁性肝硬化（OR = 2.6333，95% CI = 1.8274-3.7948，p = 2.059 × 10-7）、乳糜泻（OR = 0.0708，95% CI = 0.0538-0.0932，p = 9.438 × 10-80）和阿尔茨海默病（OR = 1.5092，95% CI = 1.1942-1.9072，p = 0.0006）有因果效应。反向 MR 分析表明，类风湿性关节炎、糖尿病肾病、多发性硬化症和总睾酮（女性）会影响 COVID-19 的结果。我们评估了异质性和水平多向性，以确保结果的可靠性，并采用 Steiger 方向性检验来确认因果关系的方向。我们的研究结果突显了 COVID-19 对人类健康的长期影响，强调了对受影响人群进行持续监测和有针对性干预的必要性。未来的研究应探讨这些关系，以制定全面的医疗保健策略。
