O'Byrne C, O'Keeffe M. Omega-3 fatty acids in the management of dry eye disease-An updated systematic review and meta-analysis. Acta Ophthalmol 2022; 101. [PMID: 36147013 DOI: 10.1111/aos.15255] [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: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids in comparison to a placebo in the management of dry eye disease. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed including randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing omega-3 versus placebo in the management of dry eye disease in human subjects. There were no language or time restrictions. Eligible trials were assessed for bias and assigned a risk-of-bias score. Data extraction was carried out using a standardised data extraction form, and meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model for continuous data. The outcome measures were Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores, tear breakup time (TBUT) measurements, corneal staining and Schirmer's score. Statistical heterogeneity was defined as substantial if the I2 test achieved a value >60%. RESULTS Eight parallel RCTs including 1107 subjects met eligibility criteria. None of the included studies achieved low risk of bias. Data synthesis demonstrated an improvement in the mean change in OSDI score from baseline to final assessment. Omega-3 supplementation conferred no evident improvement in corneal staining, TBUT or Schirmer's score. There was considerable statistical heterogeneity in all four outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS This updated systematic review and meta-analysis indicates that omega-3 supplementation improves subjective symptoms in patients with dry eye disease.

Summary of Proceedings and Expert Consensus Statements From the International Summit "Lipids in Parenteral Nutrition". JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2021; 44 Suppl 1:S7-S20. [PMID: 32049392 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.1746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 10/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2018 Lipids in Parenteral Nutrition summit involved a panel of experts in clinical nutrition, lipid metabolism, and pharmacology, to assess the current state of knowledge and develop expert consensus statements regarding the use of intravenous lipid emulsions in various patient populations and clinical settings. The main purpose of the consensus statements is to assist healthcare professionals by providing practical guidance on common clinical questions related to the provision of lipid emulsions as part of parenteral nutrition (PN). METHODS The summit was designed to allow interactive discussion and consensus development. The resulting consensus statements represent the collective opinion of the members of the expert panel, which was informed and supported by scientific evidence and clinical experience. RESULTS The current article summarizes the key discussion topics from the summit and provides a set of consensus statements designed to complement existing evidence-based guidelines. Lipid emulsions are a major component of PN, serving as a condensed source of energy and essential fatty acids. In addition, lipids modulate a variety of biologic functions, including inflammatory and immune responses, coagulation, and cell signaling. A growing body of evidence suggests that lipid emulsions containing ω-3 fatty acids from fish oil confer important clinical benefits via suppression of inflammatory mediators and activation of pathways involved in the resolution of inflammation. CONCLUSIONS This article provides a set of expert consensus statements to complement formal PN guideline recommendations.

Nutr Clin Pract 2020; 36:839-852.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are noted to contribute to development of intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) in home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Fish oil (FO) has been added to latest generation of lipid injectable emulsion (ILE) to increase ω-3:ω-6 PUFA ratio; however, appropriate dose of FO to treat IFALD is unknown. METHODS After approval of exclusive FO ILE in the US for pediatric patients, we noted 2 adult patients with ongoing IFALD despite transition to mixed-oil (MO) ILE. They were transitioned to off-label FO ILE after review of literature regarding use of FO ILE in adult HPN patients was conducted to guide management. RESULTS The first case involves a 40-year-old female receiving HPN with IFALD refractory to MO ILE. MO ILE (with 15% FO) was provided at 50 g/d for 3 d/wk and combined with FO ILE at 50 g/d for 4 d/wk. This combination resulted in improvement in liver studies and allowed for decrease in dextrose calories. The second case involves a 49-year-old male receiving HPN (secondary to complications of necrotizing pancreatitis) who developed IFALD. FO ILE was used as the sole source of lipids and led to improvement in liver function tests. No evidence of essential fatty acid deficiency was found in either case. CONCLUSIONS Current case presentations and review of literature support the use of FO ILE to increase ω-3 PUFAs in patients with IFALD refractory to MO ILE. Additional research is necessary to delineate the dose of FO ILE necessary to achieve benefit.

Nutrients 2020; 12:E2555. [PMID: 32846900 PMCID: PMC7551800 DOI: 10.3390/nu12092555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 91] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2020] [Revised: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 08/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Life expectancy is increasing and so is the prevalence of age-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Consequently, older people and patients present with multi-morbidities and more complex needs, putting significant pressure on healthcare systems. Effective nutrition interventions could be an important tool to address patient needs, improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Inflammation plays a central role in NCDs, so targeting it is relevant to disease prevention and treatment. The long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 LCPUFAs) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are known to reduce inflammation and promote its resolution, suggesting a beneficial role in various therapeutic areas. An expert group reviewed the data on omega-3 LCPUFAs in specific patient populations and medical conditions. Evidence for benefits in cognitive health, age- and disease-related decline in muscle mass, cancer treatment, surgical patients and critical illness was identified. Use of DHA and EPA in some conditions is already included in some relevant guidelines. However, it is important to note that data on the effects of omega-3 LCPUFAs are still inconsistent in many areas (e.g., cognitive decline) due to a range of factors that vary amongst the trials performed to date; these factors include dose, timing and duration; baseline omega-3 LCPUFA status; and intake of other nutrients. Well-designed intervention studies are required to optimize the effects of DHA and EPA in specific patient populations and to develop more personalized strategies for their use.
