Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and essential for neuronal myelination and maturation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of a mixed-lipid emulsion composed of soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF-LE) compared to a pure soybean oil-based lipid emulsion (S-LE) for parenteral nutrition had an impact on neuronal conduction in preterm infants. This study is a retrospective matched cohort study comparing preterm infants <1000 g who received SMOF-LE in comparison to S-LE for parenteral nutrition. Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were assessed longitudinally from birth until discharge. The latencies of the evoked peaks N2 and P2 were analyzed. The analysis included 76 infants (SMOF-LE: n = 41 and S-LE: n = 35) with 344 VEP measurements (SMOF-LE: n= 191 and S-LE n = 153). Values of N2 and P2 were not significantly different between the SMOF-LE and S-LE groups. A possible better treatment effect in the SMOF-LE group was seen as a trend toward a shorter latency, indicating faster neural conduction at around term-equivalent age. Prospective trials and follow-up studies are necessary in order to evaluate the potential positive effect of SMOF-LE on neuronal conduction and visual pathway maturation.

Abstract Background Preterm infants received long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) due to gastrointestinal immaturity. Mixed lipid emulsions composed of soybean oil, medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), olive oil, and fish oil, which have a relatively low ω-6: ω-3 ratio, may decrease the incidence of PN-associated cholestasis by reducing oxidative stress and providing an anti-inflammatory effect.Methods The retrospective cohort study enrolled a total 399 very low birth weight (VLBW) premature infants between January 2009 and November 2017 at a single neonatal intensive care unit. Preterm infants received total parenteral nutrition with either mixed lipid emulsion (SMOFlipid, n = 195) or soybean oil-based lipid emulsion (Lipovenoes, n = 204) for at least seven days. We compared the outcomes of PN-associated cholestasis, co-morbidities and mortality.Results The incidence of PN-associated cholestasis was significantly lower in the SMOFlipid group than the Lipovenoes group (10.3% vs 20.1%, P = 0.006). The related clinical laboratory findings, including levels of γ- GT (P = 0.019), triglyceride (P < 0.001), and cholesterol (P = 0.023), were significantly lower in the SMOFlipid group. The duration to full feeding days shortened in the SMOFlipid group compared with the Lipovenoes group (25 ± 10.33 vs 33 ± 16.22, P < 0.001). Relevant complications, such as severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP, 3.6% vs 14.3%, P < 0.001) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD, 36.9% vs 46.7%, P = 0.046) were also reduced in the SMOFlipid group versus the Lipovenoes group, but there was no significant effect on severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), or mortality in both groups.Conclusions In very premature infants, PN with fish oil-based lipid emulsions is associated with a lower incidence of PN-associated cholestasis compared with soybean oil-based lipid emulsions.

Objective Preterm infants receive long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) for gastrointestinal immaturity. This study aimed to determine if mixed lipid emulsions containing fish oil decrease the incidence of PN-associated cholestasis by reducing oxidative stress and providing an anti-inflammatory effect. Methods This retrospective cohort study enrolled 399 very low birth weight premature infants (gestational age ≤32 weeks) between January 2009 and November 2017 at a single neonatal intensive care unit. Preterm infants received total PN with either mixed lipid emulsion including fish oil (SMOFlipid®, n = 195) or soybean oil-based lipid emulsion (Lipovenoes®, n = 204) for at least 7 days. We compared the outcomes of PN-associated cholestasis, comorbidities, and mortality between the groups. Results The incidence of PN-associated cholestasis was significantly lower in the SMOFlipid group than in the Lipovenoes group. The duration to full feeding days was significantly shorter in the SMOFlipid group compared with the Lipovenoes group. Relevant complications, such as severe retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, were also significantly reduced in the SMOFlipid group compared with the Lipovenoes group. Conclusion In premature infants, PN with fish oil-based lipid emulsions is associated with a lower incidence of PN-associated cholestasis compared with soybean oil-based lipid emulsions.

A syndrome of hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, and anemia and the presence of sea-blue histiocytes in bone marrow has been associated with parenteral soybean oil administration in patients receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN). A case is described here where this syndrome was observed in a pediatric patient who received long-term parenteral fish oil nutrition.
