Essential fatty acid deficiency in children treated with long‐term 100% fish‐oil lipid injectable emulsion: A longitudinal descriptive cohort study
Children with parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis on long-term fish-oil lipid injectable emulsion are at low risk for a clinical or biochemical essential fatty acid deficiency. These findings indicate that despite its low content of linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid, long-term 1 g/kg/day of 100% fish-oil lipid injectable emulsion is not associated with an essential fatty acid deficiency.
