We previously reported the beneficial effect of fish oil-based lipid emulsions (FOLEs) as monotherapy in the treatment of parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD). In this report, we share our ongoing experience at Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, Texas in the use of FOLE in treatment of PNALD as presented at the 2013 Experimental Biology meeting. We describe the findings of a single center, prospective, observational study of infants <6 mo of age with PNALD who received parenteral FOLE as monotherapy. A total of 97 infants received FOLE under the compassionate-use protocol for the treatment of PNALD. Eighty-three (86%) survived with resolution of cholestasis and 14 (14%) died. The median conjugated bilirubin (CB) concentration at the initiation of FOLE therapy was 4.8 mg/dL (range 2.1-26). The median time to resolution of cholestasis was 40 d (range 3-158). Compared with infants with mild cholestasis (CB of 2.1-5 mg/dL at the initiation of FOLE), nonsurvivors were significantly more premature and took longer to resolve their cholestasis. Gestational age at birth correlated inversely with CB at the beginning of FOLE and peak CB. Infants with an initial CB >10 mg/dL had a higher mortality rate than infants with an initial CB <5 mg/dL (35% vs. 6%; P < 0.05). Our experience with the use of FOLE in PNALD continues to be encouraging. Prematurity continues to be a major determinant in mortality and severity of cholestasis. This calls for further controlled studies designed to optimize dose and timing of intervention in the use of FOLE in neonates.
我们之前报道了基于鱼油的脂质乳剂(FOLEs)作为单一疗法治疗肠外营养相关肝病(PNALD)的有益效果。在本报告中,我们分享了德克萨斯州休斯顿市德克萨斯儿童医院在使用FOLE治疗PNALD方面的持续经验,这些经验在2013年实验生物学会议上进行了展示。我们描述了一项针对年龄小于6个月、患有PNALD且接受肠外FOLE单一疗法的婴儿的单中心、前瞻性、观察性研究结果。共有97名婴儿根据同情用药方案接受了FOLE治疗PNALD。83名(86%)存活,胆汁淤积症得到缓解,14名(14%)死亡。FOLE治疗开始时结合胆红素(CB)浓度的中位数为4.8mg/dL(范围为2.1 - 26)。胆汁淤积症缓解的中位时间为40天(范围为3 - 158天)。与轻度胆汁淤积症婴儿(FOLE治疗开始时CB为2.1 - 5mg/dL)相比,非存活者明显早产,胆汁淤积症缓解所需时间更长。出生时的胎龄与FOLE开始时的CB以及CB峰值呈负相关。初始CB>10mg/dL的婴儿死亡率高于初始CB<5mg/dL的婴儿(35%对6%;P<0.05)。我们使用FOLE治疗PNALD的经验仍然令人鼓舞。早产仍然是死亡率和胆汁淤积症严重程度的主要决定因素。这需要进一步开展对照研究,以优化新生儿使用FOLE时的干预剂量和时机。
