Abbreviations: ASRD, anxiety and stress-related disorder; GWAS, genome-wide association studies; IVW, inverse variance weighted MR; MDD, major depression or major depressive disorder (depending on study used in GWAS); MR, mendelian randomization; MV IVW, multivariable inverse variance weighted; MVMR, multivariable mendelian randomization; N SNV, number of SNVs; OR, odds ratio; SNV, single-nucleotide variant.

a

Results from outlier-corrected 2-sample multivariable MR analysis, 2 multivariable complementary methods reported; main analysis method: estimates reported as OR of psychiatric outcome per unit increase in log odds of pain medication use exposure, accounting for other pain medication uses.

b

Instruments selected from opioid and nonopioid GWASs, selection threshold P less than 5 × 10−6, pruned at linkage disequilibrium R2 less than 0.001 (10 000 kilobase pair window); outliers identified by MR PRESSO tool, removed; N SNVs differs across outcomes depending on number of instrument SNVs found in psychiatric outcome GWASs.
