Research Article: Causal association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute suppurative otitis media: insights from a univariate and multivariate Mendelian randomization study
Abstract:
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hearing loss (HL) constitute significant public health challenges worldwide. Recently, the association between T2DM and HL has aroused attention. However, possible residual confounding factors and other biases inherent to observational study designs make this association undetermined. In this study, we performed univariate and multivariable Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to elucidate the causal association between T2DM and common hearing disorders that lead to HL.
