parenteral nutrition–associated liver disease. A systematic review of the

literature (up to March 2015) identified 23 randomized controlled trials

(RCTs). Of these, 17 were performed in preterm infants or critically ill

neonates with a short duration of intervention, 2 in older children with short-

term use (following surgery or bone marrow transplantation), 1 in neonates

with long-term use, and 3 in infants and children receiving long-term

parenteral nutrition (PN). Meta-analysis showed no differences in the rate

of cholestasis or bilirubin levels associated with short-term use of different

ILEs. Because of high heterogeneity of the long-term studies no meta-

analysis could be performed. Available studies found that the use of

multicomponent fish oil (FO)-containing ILE compared with pure soya

D uring the last 3 decades, parenteral nutrition (PN) has beenincreasingly used to improve nutritional status in paediatric

patients ranging from premature infants not fully tolerating enteralnutrition to children with intestinal failure (IF). IF is defined as theinability of the gut to absorb the minimal fluids and energyrequirements necessary to sustain life and growth (1). Normal orcatch-up growth and long-term survival have become possible inchildren with chronic IF who depend on total or (more often)complementary PN (2–5). Along with technological advancesand improvements in clinical understanding, and the widespreadadoption of guidelines provided by expert teams (6), the quality ofpaediatric PN has dramatically improved. PN-associated liver disease(PNALD), however, has long been considered as one of the mostfrequent and life-threatening complications of PN, especially inchildren with chronic IF (7,8). PNALD is defined as cholestasisoccurring in the setting of PN, if other specific causes of liver injuryhave been excluded. Cholestasis is usually defined as an elevatedconjugated serum bilirubin (�2 mg/dL [34.2 mmol/L]) (9). Overallcholestasis affects a large number of patients receiving PN; it maydevelop in 40% to 60% of infants (10) and up to 85% of neonates (11)who require long-term PN. Moreover, evidence of liver dysfunctionmay occur as early as 14 days after initiating PN in neonates (12).

The term IF-associated liver disease (IFALD) (13,14), oftenused interchangeably with PNALD, is a broader term includingcauses other than PN such as underlying disease, massive intestinalresection (15), sepsis (16,17), and absence of enteral feeding (10).Because the focus of the present article is on the role of intravenouslipid emulsions (ILE) we will use the term PNALD.

Risk factors for PNALD are related to many factors, but areparticularly associated with individual PN constituents, whether asdeficiencies, excesses, or toxicity (10). The possible toxicity of ILE,in particular, is a focus of concern. Lipids are recognized as anindispensable component of non-protein energy intake in patientsreceiving PN. In addition to their high caloric value and lowosmolality, the use of ILE also prevents the complications of usingglucose as the sole non-protein energy source, including essentialfatty acid deficiency, hyperglycaemia, and hepatic steatosis (18,19).A possible role of ILE in the pathogenesis of cholestasis wassuggested by several studies (20,21).

Because of the recent availability of a new generation of ILEand promising results in the prevention and treatment of PNALD,the aim of the present article is to summarize the scientific evidenceregarding the role of different ILE in the pathogenesis of cholestasisand PNALD and to perform a systematic review with, whereappropriate, a meta-analysis on the effect of different types ofILE on cholestasis and PNALD.

INTRAVENOUS LIPID EMULSIONSThe first ILE was introduced in the early 1960s and was

considered a major breakthrough in PN care. The first commerciallyavailable product consisted of the long-chain triglyceride (LCT)soya bean oil (SO) (22). These ILE contained small amounts of n-3fatty acids and high amounts of n-6 essential fatty acids, mostlylinoleic acid, whereas the remaining profile mostly included

saturated fatty acids such as palmitic and stearic, in descending con-centrations (22). In the late 1980s, mixed preparations containing

50% medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and 50% soya-based LCTbecame available (MCT/SO). MCT were long advocated as asuperior substrate for PN use, because they are hydrolysed morequickly than LCT and possess many unique physiochemical andmetabolic properties making them theoretically advantageous morethan their LCT counterparts. These advantages include preferentiallipoprotein lipase hydrolysis, non–carnitine-dependent metab-olism, and rapid oxidation (23). In the late 1990s, a new oliveoil (OO)/SO lipid (OO/SO) emulsion (OO:SO¼ 4:1) with lower(20% vs 60%) amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), ahigh amount of monounsaturated oleic acid, and higher vitamin Econtent started to be used in patients on long-term PN (24–26). Thepotential advantages of OO/SO ILE are to decrease the risks relatedto an excessive intake of PUFAs such as increased peroxidation andalso to decrease the phytosterol load (27,28).

More recently fish oil (FO) has become available, eitheralone or in combination with other oils. FO has several theoreticaladvantages, including a high concentration of added a-tocopherol(4- to 8-fold the amount in SO), and no phytosterols. Moreover, FOis a rich source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is importantfor neurodevelopment and visual function, and also a source ofeicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). EPA has been shown to favourablymodulate inflammatory pathways, both directly by decreasing theproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and indirectly by anincrease in secretion of interleukin-10, an anti-inflammatory cyto-kine, by hepatic macrophages (29). Furthermore, both DHA andEPA serve as precursors of inflammation-resolving mediators (ie,resolvins and protectins) (30). Theoretically high levels of EPAmay, however, prolong bleeding time and increase LDL cholesterollevels, but clinical importance of these effects is unclear (31). Inanimal models, FO delivered intravenously improves biliary flowand decreases cholestasis (32), whereas it upregulates bile acidtransport mechanisms (33). It also reduces de novo lipogenesis,stimulates b-oxidation, and decreases hepatic steatosis (34,35).

The characteristics of widely used commercially availableILE are presented in Table 1.

MECHANISMS OF PNALD PATHOGENESISVarious mechanisms have been proposed for the possible

role of ILE in PNALD, including modulation of oxidative stress andinflammation (by peroxidation of PUFAs and differences in a-tocopherol content), competition of transport (by differences inphytosterol content), and by differences in lipid clearance (13,40).

Oxidative Stress

Excessive intake of linoleic acid, which is converted toarachidonic acid, a precursor of proinflammatory agents (such astumour necrosis factor-a, interleukin-6, platelet activating factor,and adhesion molecules), may have adverse effects on the livercausing chronic inflammation, which could consequently lead toliver cholestasis and fibrosis (29,36,41,42). PUFAs such as linoleicacid can undergo peroxidation causing the production of lipidperoxides, unstable molecules that can trigger chain reactionsresulting in inactivation of enzymes, proteins, and other elementsnecessary for the viability of cells (22,43–45). This oxidative stressis considered to be one of the possible causes of liver toxicityresulting from lipids. In animal models, reactive oxygen speciesincreased during oxidative stress leading to decreased bile pro-duction and contributing to cholestasis (46). In addition, low levelsof the antioxidant a-tocopherol in SO ILE (47) can modulate therisk of oxidative stress (45,48); therefore, some lipid emulsions

contain added a-tocopherol (24). Accordingly, new generations ofILE aim to provide n-3 and to reduce n-6 fatty acids load while

Phytosterols

Another major concern is related to plant sterols (PS), alsocalled phytosterols. PS are steroid alcohols which belong to plantcell membranes, similar to cholesterol in mammals. PS have astriking structural similarity to bile acids. Conventional SO ILEscontain significant quantities of PS and their long-term use leads toa progressive increase in PS content in human cell membranes andplasma lipoproteins (27). Enterally, PS are poorly absorbed by thehuman intestine, but their blood concentrations are closely associ-ated with cholestasis in children and adults (49–53). PS have beenshown to reduce bile acid secretion in rats and to inhibit secretoryfunction in isolated rat hepatocytes (54). The mechanism leading tocholestasis is thought to be the antagonism of nuclear farnesoid Xreceptor (FXR) which regulates bile excretion via the multidrugresistance transporter 2, responsible for the transport of bilecomponents out of the hepatocyte (55). Multidrug resistancetransporter 2–deficient mice develop cholestasis (56) and micelacking the FXR are exposed to bile acid liver injury (57), whereastreatment with an FXR agonist has shown a hepatoprotective effectin a rat model of intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholestasis (58).Furthermore, there is evidence presented from animal models thattotal PN suppresses both bile acid production and hepatocyteexport (bile acid–induced bile salt export pump) leading to intra-hepatic bile acid accumulation, and PS can cause inhibition of bileacid–induced bile salt export pump expression (59). Informationavailable in the literature related to PS concentrations in ILE isscarce; a study which compared PS concentrations in 8 commonlyused parenteral ILE demonstrated that concentrations of the var-ious steroidal compounds varied greatly between the ILE, with thehighest levels found in SO ILE (Table 1) (27). This was confirmed

It has,however, recently been shown in piglet model that the differencein cholestasis and liver injury among novel ILE, especially forthe group receiving multicomponent FO-containing ILE, wereonly weakly correlated with plasma and hepatic PS contentsuggesting that other components could influence liver injury(59). Savini et al measured PS in preterm infants receiving differenttypes of ILE and found that PS serum levels were positivelycorrelated with PS intake (60). Cholestasis was, however, rare

groups (60).

Activation of the Reticuloendothelial System

Although the metabolism of the oxidized fraction of the ILEis relatively well known, far less understood is the destiny of thenonoxidized fraction, which is sequestered by the reticuloendothe-lial cells (RECs) in the liver (ie, Kupffer cells) and also by thespleen, bone marrow, and lungs. In children, chronic administrationof ILE may overload REC and induce their acute or chronicactivation leading to hematologic disorders, accompanied by liverdysfunction and cholestasis (61,62). In a rat model, ILE infusionresulted in downregulated hepatic lipase activity and fat vacuoles inKupffer cells and hepatocytes, with morphological signs ofincreased Kupffer cell activity, suggesting that ILE may activatemacrophages (63). In a mouse model, total PN was shown to reducethe number of hepatic REC and to impair their function, resulting inpoor survival after intraportal bacterial challenge (64). CD14 andtoll-like receptor 4/MD-2 expression both showed significantreductions (64). Some authors have hypothesized that intestinalinjury with increased intestinal permeability combined with admin-istration of PN promote lipopolysaccharide-toll-like receptor 4signalling-dependent Kupffer cell activation as an early event inthe pathogenesis of IFALD/PNALD (65).

ROLE OF DIFFERENT ILE IN THEPATHOGENESIS OF PNALD

ILE (10% vs 20%)There are clinically significant differences in commercially

available 10% and 20% lipid emulsions, especially in their phos-pholipid content; phospholipid/triglyceride ratio is higher in 10%lipid ILE compared with 20% (66). Administration of 20% ILEleads to significantly faster triglyceride clearance compared to 10%ILE (67,68). Therefore, in most paediatric patients, only 20%emulsions are used (69). Infants who received 10% ILE hadlipoprotein X–like particles in the low-density lipoprotein fraction,which has previously been shown to be associated with cholestasis(67). There is currently no evidence suggesting that different lipidconcentrations have an influence on cholestasis.

Dose Reduction

With the aim of preventing or treating cholestasis associatedwith PN, some centres have attempted to modify lipid adminis-tration by reducing the amount of lipid (70), cycling PN (71,72), ortemporarily completely removing lipids from PN in children onprolonged PN (21,73) based on the assumption that a dose of 1g � kg�1 � day�1 or less may be effective in preventing PN-associatedcholestasis (PNAC) in both infants and children (11,21,74–76). Asmall, randomized controlled trial (RCT) performed by Rollins et al(77) found that reduction of the dose of SO ILE (1 g � kg�1 � day�1 vsstandard dose 3 g � kg�1 � day�1) lowered the conjugated bilirubin in28 neonates who underwent surgery and who were on PN for at least4 weeks (77). In contrast, a recently published retrospective studyfailed to demonstrate that reduction of SO ILE to 1 g � kg�1 � day�1

could delay the onset of cholestasis in 61 neonates (78). Moreover,although there is some evidence that lipid restriction may bebeneficial and appropriate for patients with PNALD, the unknownlong-term effects on growth and neurodevelopment remain a con-cern especially in premature infants (77).

Source of ILE

There is emerging evidence that the lipid source in ILE mayhave a role in PNALD. Several case-control studies have reportedefficacy of FO as monotherapy (1 g/kg) in the treatment of PNALDin infants and children (79–88). Similarly, resolution of cholestasiswas also found when multicomponent FO-containing ILE wereintroduced (89,90). These promising new results elicited numerousreview articles and recommendations from different authorities onwhich ILE should be used (13,38,91). Although this emerging datasuggest that lipid source could have a role in the prevention/treatment of cholestasis, a comprehensive assessment of availabledata is lacking. The aim of the present study is to perform asystematic review of the available RCT on the role of differentILE in the pathogenesis of cholestasis and PNALD in infantsand children.

enzymes’’ OR ‘‘bilirubin’’). The searches were limited to humanstudies. An age filter to restrict the search to children (0–18 years)and a filter for clinical studies were applied. The search was limitedto English language manuscripts and only published datawere considered. The reference lists of identified studies and keyreview articles, including previously published reviews, were alsosearched.

The primary outcome measure was the incidence of choles-tasis defined as an elevated serum conjugated bilirubin �2 mg/dL(34.2 mmol/L). Secondary outcomes were the levels of total andconjugated bilirubin and liver enzymes (alanine transaminase[ALT], aspartate transaminase [AST], alkaline phosphatase[ALP], and g-glutamyltransferase [GGT]) after the use of ILE.

Studies were included if they met all of the following criteria:RCT design in infants and children who needed PN and receivedparenteral lipid emulsion. No restriction on the dose or duration ofadministration of lipid infusion was applied. Studies with otherdesigns (cohort studies, case series, case reports) were not includedin the analysis.

The level of evidence for selected studies was graded usingthe Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine ‘‘Levels ofEvidence’’ methodology and disagreements were resolved bydiscussion (92).

The data were analysed using Review Manager (RevMan)version 5.3. The primary outcome (binary measure) was presentedas the risk of event (cholestasis) in experimental and control groups.Secondary outcomes were continuous and were given as the meanwith standard deviation (SD). When data were presented as thestandard error of the mean, the SD was recalculated. If data werepresented as a median with the range, the authors were contacted toprovide us with the mean values and SD. Data that were reportedonly as median values and no mean values were provided by theauthors (93) were not included in the analysis due to nonsymme-trical distribution of the median.

In order to avoid heterogeneity, secondary outcome measureswere levels reported at the end of the study but at a maximum of14 days (range 6–14 days). Cholestasis rate was taken into accountwhen reported although the time varied between studies (the longestfollow-up was 6 weeks). Only studies those used SO ILE as controlwere included. Subgroup analysis was performed for specificexperimental ILE (OO/SO and multicomponent FO-containingILE).

Heterogeneity of the data was tested by visual assessment of

(>1 month of age) on long-term PN (longer than 4 weeks), and 1study in neonates on long-term PN.

From all the available studies meta-analysis could be per-formed only in the preterm infants and neonates who were on short-term PN. Overall, 11 studies reported at least 1 outcome, which wasused in the meta-analysis (37,60,93–101); all these studies used SOILE as a comparison. The meta-analysis did not include 5 studies(102–106), which reported no exact values for tested parametersand 1 study in which SO ILE was not used as a comparison (107).Overall 11 studies reported incidence of the cholestasis at baseline(93,95–103,107) from which 6 studies included only preterminfants/neonates with cholestasis at the baseline (93,96–100).

Neonates Including Preterm Infants

Short-Term Use in Neonates Including PretermInfants

There were 17 RCT in total, which reported the influence ofILE on bilirubin or liver enzymes in preterm infants or critically illneonates (Table 2). Six studies included children who had choles-tasis at the time of the study (93,96–100). Only 2 studies deter-mined bilirubin levels as a primary endpoint (105,106). Duration ofthe intervention was short (median/mean duration 3–27 days).

OO/SO Versus SO ILESix studies examined the difference between OO/SO (20%

ClinOleic; Baxter, France) and SO (20% Intralipid; Fresenius Kabi,Germany) ILE (95–97,101–103). Five studies were performed inpreterm infants; 4 studies found no difference in the bilirubin and/orliver enzymes between groups (95,97,102). The largest study,

randomized controlled trial.

pyright 2016 by ESPGHAN and NASPGHAN. Un

however, found significantly lower direct bilirubin 7 days afterintervention with OO/SO ILE, although there was no difference in

780

total bilirubin and liver enzymes (101). A study performed incritically ill neonates found lower levels of GGT in childrenwho received OO/SO ILE (103).

MCT/SO Versus SO ILETwo studies compared short-term use of SO (20% Intralipid)

versus MCT/SO-based (20% Lipofundin; B. Braun, Germany)emulsions with no significant difference between interventions(105,106).

None of the mentioned studies were suitable for meta-analysis because there were no reported values for bilirubin levelsor liver enzymes.

Multicomponent FO-Containing (SO, MCT, OO, and FO)Versus SO ILE

Six studies compared multicomponent FO-containing ILE, aphysical mixture of 30% SO, 30% MCT, 25% olive oil, and 15%FO (SMOFlipid 20%) to SO (20% Intralipid) emulsion(37,93,94,98–100).

Two studies found a significantly greater decrease in bilir-ubin levels in the multicomponent FO-containing ILE group(98,99), whereas a third one found lower GGT in the multicompo-nent FO-containing ILE group, but no difference in bilirubin levels(100). Three studies found no difference in the cholestasis ratebetween groups (37,93,94).

Multicomponent FO-Containing (SO, MCT, FO) VersusMCT/SO ILE

One small pilot study compared a mixture of 10% FO, 50%MCT, and 40% SO to MCT/SO ILE and found no difference in totalbilirubin levels at the end of intervention and 6 weeks after theintervention between groups (107). Because the present study did notuse SO ILE as a comparison it was not included into the meta-analysis.

Comparison of Different ILEsThe largest study included 144 premature infants randomized

into 5 arms (SO based [20% Intralipid], MCT/SO based [20%Lipofundin], multicomponent FO-containing ILE [SO, MCT, andFO] [20% Lipidem; B. Braun, Germany], OO/SO [20% ClinOleic],and multicomponent FO-containing ILE [SMOFlipid 20%]) andfound no difference in bilirubin levels and liver enzymes betweengroups (60). Unfortunately, as the present study presented outcomevalues only 6 weeks after the introduction of ILE, it could not beincluded into meta-analysis for secondary outcomes.

Meta-Analysis

Primary OutcomeSix studies reported on the incidence of cholestasis at the end

of the study (37,60,93,94,101,104). Pooled meta-analysis found nodifference in incidence in any experimental mixed ILE compared tosolely SO ILE (Fig. 2). The study by Pawlik et al (104) was notincluded in the analysis due to the control group (which was not SOILE); the present study tested mixed FO-containing ILE (50%OO/SO ILE [20% ClinOleic] þ 50% FO ILE [10% Omegaven])compared to OO/SO ILE (20% ClinOleic) and found a significantlyhigher incidence of cholestasis in the group who received OO/SOILE compared to multicomponent FO-containing ILE (320/70 vs3/60; P¼ 0.001).

Similarly, no difference was found for conjugated bilirubinassessed by 5 studies (37,95,96,98,101), ALP assessed by 4 studies(96,97,100,101), and GGT assessed by 6 studies (95–98,100,101)(Figs. 4–6). AST was assessed by 4 studies (37,96,97,101) (Fig. 7).ALT was assessed by 8 studies (37,93,95–98,100,101); however,due to high heterogeneity 1 study (97) was excluded from the meta-analysis. Overall results and separate results for OO/SO ILE andmulticomponent FO-containing ILE found no difference comparingto solely SO ILE (Fig. 8).

Long-Term Use in Neonates

Only 1 RCT (108) evaluated the use of FO ILE (10%Omegaven) compared to SO ILE (20% Intralipid) on cholestasisincidence in young neonates who required long-term (more than 4weeks) PN. Unfortunately, due to the low incidence of cholestasis,the study was terminated prematurely. Overall 19 neonates wereincluded and the study failed to demonstrate any difference in directbilirubin and liver function tests between groups (Table 3).

Children With Short-Term PN

Two studies evaluated the safety and efficacy of differentILE in children older than 1 year of age (Table 4) (111,112). Noneof the studies evaluated the influence of different ILE on liverfunction tests or bilirubin levels as a primary outcome measure, andnone reported cholestasis rate. One study was performed in childrenafter abdominal/oesophageal surgery (111) comparing MCT/SO(10% Lipofundin MCT/SO) versus SO ILE (10% Lipofundin S) andreported a decrease in bilirubin levels in MCT/SO ILE, whereas inthe SO group concentrations remained elevated (108). Anotherstudy included children after bone marrow transplantation andcompared MCT/SO (20% Lipofundin) and OO/SO ILE (20%ClinOleic) (112).

DISCUSSIONThis systematic review found a limited number of RCTs,

which evaluated the short and long-term effect of ILE on bilirubinor liver enzyme levels. The majority of the available RCTs wereperformed in premature neonates (more than 1200 infants included)in whom ILE were administered for a short period of time. None ofthe ILEs were found to be significantly more efficacious in theprevention of cholestasis and decrease in bilirubin levels and liverenzymes.

which prevented further analysis (102,105,106). The number ofstudies in infants and children (130 infants/children included) onlong-term PN is limited. This systematic review identified only 3RCTs (24,109,110), which all used different ILE and 1 study onprolonged PN in neonates (108) which compared FO to SO ILE. Astudy which assessed OO/SO ILE versus SO ILE found no differ-ence in bilirubin levels (24). On the contrary, the same group ofauthors found that the use of multicomponent FO-containing ILEsignificantly decreased bilirubin levels (109). Both of these studieswere, however, performed in children without cholestasis, and thebilirubin levels were not elevated even after the study. The studyperformed in infants evaluated the role of FO in infants withcholestasis and found a positive effect on the decrease in bilirubin(110). Because all 3 RCTs used different ILE it was not possible toperform a meta-analysis. The only study investigating prolonged

The present study terminated prematurely due to low incidence incholestasis in both groups; furthermore, all other liver-relatedparameters did not differ between groups.

The role of a pure SO ILE on PNALD is well recognized andbecause of that, expectations after the introduction of MCT- andOO-containing ILE were high. Available evidence does not supporttheir superiority over solely SO for short-term use. RCTs thatevaluated the difference between SO-based and OO/SO ILE(95–97,102,103) and MCT/SO-based ILE (105,106) found nodifference in liver function tests and bilirubin levels.

Those studies were performed in children who had not hadgut resections and did not have severe liver disease, and thereforeevaluated only the possible hepatotoxic effect of different ILE in theshort term. OO/SO ILE, however, did not show an advantage overSO ILE even in children on long-term PN (24). The potentialadvantages of OO/SO ILE are to decrease the risks related to anexcessive intake of PUFAs, such as increased peroxidation and alsoto decrease the plant sterol load, and may also be beneficial due to

liver function compared to the historical pure SO-based ILE(6,95,97,101,102).

Moreover, neither animal models (113) nor the observationalclinical data have demonstrated clear superiority of MCT/SO orOO/SO ILE (24) over their SO ILE counterparts regarding preven-tion or recovery of cholestasis or PNALD (21,114,115).

In 2005, the guidelines provided by the ESPGHAN andESPEN experts stated that the use of commercial lipid emulsionsbased on LCT (SO or OO/SO) or physical mixtures of MCT/SOcould be considered generally safe in infants and children and thatthere was currently no evidence (based on clinical outcome data)supporting the advantage of any of the ILE that were currentlyavailable (6). Based on the all available data, it seems that intro-duction of MCT or OO in ILE did not significantly contribute to theresolution or prevention of hepatotoxic effect of ILE, and that newdata support previous guidelines regarding these ILEs.

Expectations for FO-based lipid emulsions were even higher.Good quality data are, however, lacking; there are only 2 RCTsavailable which compared FO to SO ILE in neonates (108) andinfants on prolonged PN (110). Several case studies presented bythe same team reported the efficacy FO as monotherapy (at areduced dose—1 g/kg) in the treatment of PNALD in infantsand children (79–86). In most of the studies, a high dose of SOemulsion was replaced by 1 g/kg of FO. Therefore, it is still not clearwhether reversal of cholestasis was due to the effect of stopping thesoya bean load or the effect of FO itself (including the high a-tocopherol load) or both. A meta-analysis of 2 of these observa-tional studies (80,83) showed a significant decrease in plasmabilirubin in the children treated with pure FO ILE compared tothose treated with SO ILE (38). Recently, other teams (87) alsofound a remarkable effect of FO-based ILE on severe cholestasis inpreterm infants (88). Only 2 previously mentioned RCTs comparedFO to SO, 1 in infants with cholestasis on long-term PN whichfound FO to be superior in the reduction of bilirubin and ALT levels(110) and the other in neonates without cholestasis on prolonged PNwhich found no difference in the cholestasis incidence and bilirubinlevels between groups (108). The strength of both of these studies isthat both arms (experimental and control) used the same lipid dose[1.5 mg � kg�1 � day�1 in 1 (110) and 1 mg � kg�1 � day�1 in the otherstudy (108)].

The newest ILE are multicomponent FO-containing ILE,which could have several theoretical advantages. Their effect wasassessed by several RCTs in neonates and 1 RCT in children withlong-term PN (37,60,93,98–100,109). Although some studiesfound that the use of multicomponent FO-containing lipid emul-sions have positive effect on bilirubin levels in premature infantsand neonates, meta-analysis found no superiority of these multi-component FO-containing ILE compared to SO ILE. Regardingchildren on prolonged PN, 1 RCT found that multicomponent FO-containing ILE led to significant decrease of total bilirubin levelscompared to SO ILE; however, in both groups bilirubin levels werenot abnormal at the end of the study (109). There are also severalnonrandomized cohort studies which found resolution of cholestasisafter multicomponent FO-containing ILE was introduced (89,90).When interpreting these results the small sample size (8 and 9patients) and design of the study should, however, be taken intoaccount. Furthermore, in children with IF the pathogenesis of liverdisease is extremely complex and intervention should not be limitedonly to different ILE. There is evidence indicating that just tailoringand adjusting PN in children on long-term PN could improve liverdisease (116), meaning that the focus should not only be on the typeof ILE.

Considering all these results it seems that addition of FO and

reduction of SO could be beneficial in reducing cholestasis inchildren on long-term PN. The overall quality of the data is,

Co

however, poor and well-designed RCTs including larger numbers ofpatients are lacking.

Furthermore, there are no RCTs that assess the role of ILE onliver fibrosis with some evidence showing persistent liver fibrosiseven several years after PN discontinuation (117). A small adultstudy showed histologic improvement after 4 weeks of treatmentwith pure FO, with a so-called marked decrease in inflammationand cholestasis (27). Some animal and human studies suggest thatfibrosis persists or even progresses despite normalization of cho-lestasis markers using FO (118–122). These studies underline thelimitations of relying on cholestasis as the sole endpoint. Recently,Mercer et al (121) blindly examined liver biopsies in 6 children withcholestasis who were treated with FO ILE and although hyperbilir-ubinaemia reversed in all children, there was no influence onfibrosis in 5 of 6 children. Thus, it is still not clear whether adecrease in bilirubin levels is a good marker for improvement ofliver damage.

Finally, when interpreting the results of this systematicreview it should be emphasized that we only examined the effectof different ILE on cholestasis or PNALD other parameters, whichcould potentially be influenced by the use of different ILE, forexample, nutritional adequacy, growth, development, nosocomialinfections, and so on were not evaluated. ILE are an importantnoncarbohydrate source of energy and an integral part of paediatricPN. Furthermore, ILE in children, particularly in infants, are themain provider of essential fatty acids. EPA and DHA can besynthesized from a-linolenic acid, yet the capacity of the convertingenzyme pathway is limited. Physiological DHA requirements arehighest in the perinatal period and infants are dependent on dietaryDHA intake from the mother’s milk or formula (123). Therefore,there is a serious concern that the DHA supply in SO ILE may belimiting for infant development. On the contrary, exclusive FO lipidintake during the perinatal period resulted in growth retardation anddelayed psychomotor development in rats (124). Therefore, theoptimal n-3 fatty acid and FO intake (dosage and duration) inchildren who depend on PN lipid delivery should be better defined,especially in infants. Short-term studies showed that multicompo-nent FO-containing ILE was well tolerated in premature neonateswith a modification of red blood cell phospholipid fatty acid patternas compared with a group receiving an SO ILE (37,98,100).Long-term studies are, however, needed to assess the effects of prolongedadministration of different fatty acid mixtures on fatty acid

CONCLUSIONSThe ESPGHAN Committee on Nutrition (CoN) concludes

There is no evidence of a difference in bilirubin, conjugatedbilirubin, AST, ALT, ALP, and GGT between short-term use of

O O/SO and SO ILE in infants and children (level of evidence2a).There is no evidence of a difference in bilirubin, conjugatedbilirubin, AST, ALT, ALP, and GGT between short-term use of m ulticomponent FO-containing ILE and SO ILE in neonates(level of evidence 2a).The use of multicomponent FO-containing ILE may contribute �t o a decrease in total bilirubin levels in children with IF onprolonged PN (level of evidence 2b).Pure FO supply combined with a decrease or interruption of SO

RECOMMENDATIONS

� P

revention and care of PNALD in children should not be focusedexclusively on parenteral ILE intake.

� B

ecause of their high phospholipid content, 10% ILE should nolonger be used (GR B).Based on available evidence, the CoN cannot currentlyrecommend the use of any specific ILE for short-term use in i nfants and children for the prevention and treatment of PNALD(GR B).

� F

or children in whom long-term use of PN is expected, it appearsprudent to use multicomponent FO-containing ILE (GR C).The present evidence base is inadequate to determine the optimal �s trategy for intravenous lipid supply in both preterm and terminfants and older children to prevent or treat liver complications.In particular, studies on both the prevention and treatment ofPNALD should be conducted in high-risk infants and children

who are likely to require long-term PN, and should also consideradditional extrahepatic outcomes such as growth and cognition.
