Alternative lipid emulsions versus pure soy oil based lipid emulsions for parenterally fed preterm infants

Background The pure soybean oil based lipid emulsions (S‐LE) conventionally used for parenteral nutrition (PN) in preterm infants have high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content. The newer lipid emulsions (LE) from alternative lipid sources with reduced PUFA content may improve clinical outcomes in preterm infants. Objectives To determine the safety and efficacy of the newer alternative LE compared with the conventional S‐LE for PN in...
