SMOFlipid and Incidence of BPD in Preterm Infants

Περιγραφή
Intravenous lipid emulsions (IVLEs) is a core component of parenteral nutrition (PN) for providing calories and essential fatty acids. Until recently, Intralipid was the only available IVLE in North America. For a long time now, the use of Intralipid has been described to be associated with the development of BPD. Lack of sufficient lipid clearance in premature infants, augmented oxidative stress, deficiency of anti-inflammatory agents, and elevated pulmonary artery pressure have all shown to be potential causes for lung injury during the use of Intralipid.
Intralipid, made mainly of soybean oil, contains high amounts of n6-LCPUFA and low amounts of n3-LCPUFA. This results in prostaglandin synthesis favoring pro-inflammatory products and amplified oxidative stress. Current evidence indicates that well-balanced fatty acid supply is a crucial factor to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. The concern about unbalanced n6:n3 ratio has led to the development of novel IVLEs, like SMOFlipid. SMOFlipid is composed of a mixture of soybean oil (30%), medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) (30%), olive oil (25%) and fish oil (15%). The combination of soybean oil and fish oil allows delivering balanced LCPUFA with n6:n3 ratio of 2.5:1 and provides sufficient amounts of the preformed n3-LCPUFA.
Interventions that improve n3-LCPUFA status have been shown to reduce pulmonary inflammation in animal models.
In humans, a study on extremely preterm infants has revealed a rapid decline in the n3-LCPUFA in the first week of life despite the use of Intralipid. Early restoration of an adequate ratio of LCPUFA to inhibit inflammation has gained interest in recent years. In an observational study by Skouroliakou et al., very low birth weight infants receiving SMOFlipid within 48 hours of birth and for at least 7 days had a lower incidence of BPD compared to the Intralipid control group. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 8 randomized control trials (7 compared SMOFlipid to Intralipid) was conducted to evaluate safety and efficacy of fish oil-enriched IVLEs in preterm infants. Infants who received fish oil-enriched IVLEs had significantly higher RBC membrane DHA and EPA. The meta-analysis showed no difference in all-cause mortality and overall complication rate in 238 infants receiving fish oil-enriched IVLEs. However, all the studies included in this meta-analysis were small. Furthermore, the studies focused mainly on laboratory findings, and did not aim to study effect on inflammation, oxidative stress or clinical outcomes. Studies from critically ill adults in intensive care units exhibited a reduction in the duration of hospitalization and ventilator days, a risk factor for lung injury, when using n3-LCPUFA enriched IVLEs.
