Abstract
OBJECTIVES The main aim was to compare the effects of 2 parenteral lipid emulsions on retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) incidence, severity, and need for treatment. Secondary aim was to compare the effect on weight gain in the first 6 weeks of life. METHODS Single-center, observational, retrospective study analyzing preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) <31 weeks and a birth weight <1251 g born between April 2015 and December 2018. The infants' medical records were reviewed to collect clinical data. Parenteral nutrition (PN) details were obtained from the hospital pharmacy database. RESULTS In total, 180 patients were included: 90 received ClinOleic® and 90 received SMOFlipid®. No significant differences were observed for the incidence of ROP (40% in ClinOleic® group and 41% in SMOFlipid® group, p=.88) or ROP requiring treatment (4% and 10%, respectively, p=.152). Weekly weight gain was similar in the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS This study showed no difference between the 2 groups regarding ROP, ROP requiring treatment, or weekly weight gain in the first 6 weeks of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE During the early weeks of life optimization of nutrition in extremely preterm infants presents a critical opportunity to attenuate the adverse neurological consequences of prematurity and potentially improve neurodevelopmental outcome. We hypothesized that the use of multicomponent lipid emulsion (MLE) in parenteral nutrition (PN) would be related to larger volume of the cerebellum on brain magnetic resonance at term of equivalent age (TEA) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. STUDY DESIGN We analyzed the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at TEA of a cohort of preterm infants with gestational age ≤28 weeks and/or birth weight <1,000 g randomly assigned in our previous trial to receive an MLE or soybean-based lipid emulsion (SLE). The primary outcome of the study was the cerebellar volume (CeV), valued on MRI acquired at TEA. Secondary outcomes included total brain volume (TBV), supratentorial volume, brainstem volume, and CeV corrected for TBV evaluated on MRI acquired at TEA. RESULTS MRIs at TEA of 34 infants were then analyzed: 17 in the MLE group and 17 in the SLE group. The postmenstrual age (PMA) at which MRIs were performed were comparable between the two study groups. The CeV as well as the PMA-corrected CeV were significantly higher in the MLE group than in the SLE group. No difference was found among the other brain volumes considered. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the use of MLE in PN could promote CeV growth in ELBW infants, valued with MRI at TEA. KEY POINTS · Optimization of nutrition in extremely low birthweight infants.. · Use of multicomponent lipid emulsions in parenteral nutrition.. · Larger cerebellar volume with use of multicomponent lipid emulsion..

[PMID: 38684884 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-024-03208-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Very preterm infants are at high risk of growth failure. Poor weight gain is a prominent risk factor for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and optimizing nutrition could potentially promote growth and reduce ROP. Most infants at risk of ROP need parenteral nutrition initially and studies of enhanced parenteral provision of lipids and amino acids have suggested a beneficial effect on ROP. Higher amino acid intake was associated with lower incidence of hyperglycemia, a risk factor for ROP. For very preterm infants, providing unpasteurized fortified raw maternal breast milk appears to have a dose-dependent preventive effect on ROP. These infants become deficient in arachidonic acid (ArA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) after birth when the maternal supply is lost. Earlier studies have investigated the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on ROP with mixed results. In a recent study, early enteral supplementation of ArA 100 mg/kg/d and DHA 50 mg/kg/d until term equivalent age reduced the incidence of severe ROP by 50%. IMPACT: Previous reviews of nutritional interventions to prevent morbidities in preterm infants have mainly addressed bronchopulmonary dysplasia, brain lesions and neurodevelopmental outcome. This review focusses on ROP. Neonatal enteral supplementation with arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, at levels similar to the fetal accretion rate, has been found to reduce severe ROP by 50% in randomized controlled trials.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Mixed Lipid Emulsion Use Associated With Reduced Cholestasis at Discharge in Surgical Patients. J Surg Res 2023; 287:1-7. [PMID: 36827839 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2023.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) is a common morbidity in neonates requiring total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Previous studies in infants with intestinal failure have shown a benefit of mixed lipid emulsion (MLE) in reducing PNAC. It is not known whether this benefit extends to a general neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) population, where MLE is used on a selective basis. The objective of this study is to examine associations between MLE use and PNAC rate in the general NICU setting. METHODS This is a retrospective review of NICU patients who received TPN for 7 or more days. We compared patients born between 1/1/2014 and 12/31/2015 (pre-MLE) to patients born between 7/1/2017 and 12/31/2018 (post-MLE). Fisher's exact test and two-sample t-test were used to compare the two groups. RESULTS There were 353 patients in 2014-2015 and 271 patients in 2017-2018. Demographics were similar between the two groups, but there were more patients with congenital heart disease in the MLE era (P < 0.001). Mortality was similar (6.2% pre-MLE versus 6.3% post-MLE). There was no significant difference in PNAC rate between the pre-MLE (11.5%) and post-MLE (14.1%) patient cohorts (P = 0.342). Among patients receiving MLE (n = 38), 58% developed PNAC, while only 6.4% of the post-MLE cohort not receiving MLE developed PNAC. Of the patients coded with a surgical diagnosis, there was no significant difference in PNAC rates between pre-MLE and post-MLE groups. Discharge rates of PNAC did differ between pre-MLE surgical patients (13.0%) and post-MLE surgical patients (8.2%). In the subgroup of post-MLE surgical patients, PNAC rate differed significantly between those receiving MLE (43.5%) and not receiving MLE (15.4%). However, this difference was resolved by discharge (8.7% versus 7.7%). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in PNAC rates between the pre-MLE and post-MLE cohorts. However, in surgical patients, MLE was associated with reduced PNAC at discharge, with levels equivalent to those seen in neonates receiving TPN for 7 or more days, despite having a higher starting rate of PNAC. Further studies are needed to determine whether the general NICU population may benefit from MLE or certain selective subpopulations like surgical patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipid-injectable emulsions (ILEs) are a necessity for neonates dependent on parenteral nutrition (PN). In this manuscript, we describe the patterns of ILE use in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the United States (US). METHODS An electronic survey was sent to 488 NICUs across the US between December 2020 and March 2021. Survey fields included availability and utilization of various ILE in neonates. RESULTS The response rate was 22% (107 out of 488). Soybean oil ILE (SO-ILE) and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, fish oil ILE (SO, MCT, OO, FO-ILE) had similar availability (87% vs 86%, respectively), and SO, MCT, OO, FO-ILE was more commonly used (SO-ILE, 71% vs SO, MCT, OO, FO-ILE, 86%). Fish oil-ILE (FO-ILE) was used by 55% of centers. SO-ILE was most frequently used with PN and needs <4 weeks without cholestasis (79%). The most common reason for SO, MCT, OO, FO-ILE use was cholestasis (71%). ILE minimization was used by 28% of SO-ILE and 22% of SO, MCT, OO, FO-ILE users; 95% of these centers restrict SO, MCT, OO, FO-ILE to doses ≤2 g/kg/day. Twenty-two percent of centers started FO-ILE at direct bilirubin of >5 mg/dl. CONCLUSION The results of this survey reveal significant variability in ILE usage across the US. Lipid minimization with SO, MCT, OO, FO-ILE and initiation of FO-ILE for cholestasis at higher bilirubin thresholds are prevalent. Such reports are crucial for a better understanding of ILE use in the NICU and in future ILE development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lipid emulsion contributes to parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC). For decades, soybean oil-based intravenous lipid emulsion (SO-ILE) was the predominant product. Recently, a multicomponent lipid emulsion containing soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil and fish oil (SMOF-ILE) has been used off-label in neonatal care. This study evaluates the incidence of PNAC in neonates who received SMOF-ILE or SO-ILE. METHODS This was a retrospective review of neonates who received SMOF-ILE or SO-ILE for at least 14 days. Patients receiving SMOF-ILE were matched based on gestational age (GA) and birth weight to a historical cohort receiving SO-ILE. The primary outcomes were the incidences of PNAC among all patients and patients without intestinal failure. The secondary outcomes were clinical outcomes and incidence of PNAC stratified by GA. Clinical outcomes included liver function tests, growth parameters, and development of retinopathy of prematurity and intraventricular hemorrhage. RESULTS Forty-three neonates who received SMOF-ILE were matched to 43 neonates who received SOILE. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics. The incidence of PNAC in the total population was 12% in the SMOF-ILE cohort and 23% in the SO-ILE cohort (p = 0.26). The lipid dosage of SMOF-ILE was significantly higher at time of peak direct serum bilirubin concentration compared with SO-ILE cohort (p = 0.05). Clinically significant differences were noted in laboratory endpoints in several subgroups. CONCLUSIONS There was no significant difference in the incidence of PNAC among neonates in a SMOFILE cohort compared with a historical SO-ILE cohort.

Abstract
The soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil lipid (SMOFlipid) is increasingly being used worldwide without definite evidence of its benefits. We examined the effect of SMOFlipid on growth velocity and neonatal morbidities in very preterm infants. Very preterm infants who received soybean-based lipid emulsion between January 2015 and 2018 were compared with those who received SMOFlipids between 2019 and January 2022 in our neonatal tertiary center. Linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the association between type of lipid emulsion and growth velocity. Modified log-Poisson regression with generalized linear models and a robust variance estimator (Huber−White) were applied to adjust for potential confounding factors. A total of 858 infants met our inclusion criteria. Of them, 238 (27.7%) received SMOFlipid. SMOFlipid was associated with lower growth velocity between birth and 36-week corrected gestational age compared with intralipid Δ weight z-score (adjusted mean difference (aMD) −0.67; 95% CI −0.69, −0.39). Subgroup analysis indicated that mainly male infants in the SMOFlipid−LE group had a lower Δ weight z-score compared to those in the intralipid group (p < 0.001), with no difference observed in females (p = 0.82). SMOFlipid was associated with a lower rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (aRR 0.61; 95% CI 0.46, 0.8) and higher rate of late-onset sepsis compared with intralipid (aRR 1.44; 95% CI 1.22−1.69). SMOFlipid was associated with lower growth velocity and BPD but higher rate of late-onset sepsis—it is a double-edged sword.
