5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The study shall provide evidence for the save and efficient use of a fish oil containing lipid emulsion in parenteral nutrition of preterm infants.Safety will be assessed by monitoring hepatological and hematological laboratory parameters. Efficiency will be assessed by monitoring of inflammatory parameters.
