| Exposure | Outcome | No. of SNPs | Methods | β (SE) | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Critically ill COVID‐19 | LTL | 15 | IVW | 0.0010 (0.0050) | 0.841 |
| MR‐Egger | −0.0035 (0.0140) | 0.806 | |||
| Weighted median | −0.0093 (0.0047) | 0.045 | |||
| Weighted mode | −0.0106 (0.0060) | 0.102 |
Abbreviations: IVW, inverse variance weighted; LTL, leukocyte telomere length; MR, Mendelian randomization; SNPs, single‐nucleotide polymorphisms.
