Double-Blind, Randomized Trial of Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation in Formula Fed to Preterm Infants

Double-Blind, Randomized Trial of Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation in Formula Fed to Preterm Infants

We tested the hypothesis that balanced addition of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) to preterm formula during the first weeks of life would confer long-term neurodevelopmental advantage in a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of preterm formula with and without preformed LCPUFA...

Zusammenfassung:We tested the hypothesis that balanced addition of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) to preterm formula during the first weeks of life would confer long-term neurodevelopmental advantage in a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of preterm formula with and without preformed LCPUFA. The participants were 195 formula-fed preterm infants (birth weight
