A forest plot was constructed to examine the causal associations between CD and UC with three different types of sepsis. The analysis included the consideration of SNPs that may be associated with confounding factors in the IVW analyses. The associations were estimated using OR and their corresponding 95% CI between CD and UC and the risk of the three types of sepsis. Abbreviations: CD, Crohn's disease; CI, Confidence interval; IVW, Inverse-variance weighted; OR, Odds ratio; SNPs, Single nucleotide polymorphisms; UC, Ulcerative colitis
