Previous research indicates an association between sleep traits and venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk, though causal relationships remain uncertain. This study evaluated combined and independent associations between sleep traits and VTE risk using UK Biobank data and explored the causal associations between sleep traits and VTE through two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the associations between the healthy sleep score, as well as individual sleep traits (including sleep duration, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, snoring, and chronotype), and VTE risk were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression models.
