Growth of Head Circumference and Body Length in Preterm Infants Receiving a Multicomponent vs a Soybean‐Based Lipid Emulsion: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The growth of very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants relies, to a large extent, on parenteral nutrition (PN) during the early weeks of life. Despite the parenteral nutrients supply, extrauterine growth restriction remains the main concern for these infants. A parenteral multicomponent lipid emulsion (MLE) might improve growth and neurological outcomes, delivering fats for brain growth that the traditional soybean-based lipid emulsion (SLE) fails...
