MR analysis reveals no causal link between labor anesthesia methods and adverse neonatal outcomes, suggesting flexibility in selection.
Our MR study based on genetic data does not support the existence of a causal relationship between different labor anesthesia methods and neonatal asphyxia, neonatal respiratory distress or adverse neonatal neurological outcomes. Thus, labor pain relief methods can be selected based on the mother's needs and condition without increasing associated risks.
