Omega-3 fatty acids as host-directed immunomodulatory therapeutics in sepsis: real-world evidence supporting drug development potential for systemic inflammatory diseases
Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation was associated with significantly reduced adjusted ICU mortality in sepsis, underscoring its host-directed immunomodulatory properties. These findings highlight the translational potential of Ω-3 FAs as adjunct therapeutic agents in sepsis and other infection-associated inflammatory disorders, supporting further drug development toward host-directed treatments for neglected tropical diseases.
