Associations between lipid-lowering drugs and urate and gout outcomes: a Mendelian randomization study by Min Liu, Na Yin, Yuhang Zhu, Aili Du, Chunyuan Cai, Pengyuan Leng

“…Causal effects were estimated using the inverse variance weighting (IVW) method, while the Summary Data-based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) method, leveraging pooled data, was applied to compute effect estimates. These estimates were further refined through various approaches including MR-Egger, the weighted median method, simple and weighted models, and leave-one-out analyses to conduct sensitivity analyses.ResultThe analytical outcomes utilizing the IVW method indicated that inhibitors of HMGCR were correlated with an elevated risk of developing gout (IVW: OR [95%CI] = 1.25 [1.03, 1.46], p=0.0436), while PCSK9 inhibitors were linked to heightened levels of urate (IVW: OR [95%CI] = 1.06 [1.01,1.10], p=0.0167). …”
