Background: Batch effects refer to data variations that arise from non-biological factors such as experimental conditions, equipment, and external factors. These effects are considered significant issues in the analysis of biological data since they can compromise data consistency and distort actual biological differences, which can severely skew the results of downstream analyses.
Method: In this study, we introduce a new approach that comprehensively addresses two types of batch effects: "systematic batch effects" which are consistent across all samples in a batch, and "nonsystematic batch effects" which vary depending on the variability of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) within each sample in the same batch.

Anemia is a common condition associated with thyroid diseases but the causal relationship between these disorders remains unclear. Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in erythropoiesis by stimulating the expression of the erythropoietin gene and erythropoietin production. An excess of thyroid hormones is also linked to altered iron metabolism or oxidative stress.
