Therefore, we explored the potential causal relationships between rheumatoid arthritis and APOs using a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) in European and Asian populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis using available summary statistics from released genome-wide association studies. Summary statistics for instrument\u2013outcome associations were retrieved from two separate databases for rheumatoid arthritis and adverse pregnancy outcomes, respectively. The inverse-variance weighted method was used as the primary MR analysis, and cML-MA-BIC was used as the supplementary analysis. MR-Egger, MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO), and Cochran Q statistic method were implemented as sensitivity analyses approach to ensure the robustness of the results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study showed that a higher risk of rheumatoid arthritis in the European population was associated with gestational hypertension (OR: 1.04, 95%CI: 1.02\u20131.06), pre-eclampsia (OR: 1.06, 95%CI: 1.01\u20131.11), fetal growth restriction (OR: 1.08, 95%CI: 1.04\u20131.12), preterm delivery (OR:1.04, 95%CI: 1.01\u20131.07). Furthermore, we found no evidence that APOs had causal effects on rheumatoid arthritis in the reverse MR analysis.
