About this trial

The purpose of this study is to identify survival free of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), fatty acid profiles, and early biochemical measures for oxidative stress comparing mixed oil lipid emulsion (MOLE) vs soybean oil-based lipid emulsion (SOLE) and to establish whether MOLE or SOLE is more effective in minimizing pulmonary outcomes, neonatal morbidities, long-term morbidity and mortality, and improving discharge growth and Bayley Scales of Infant Development Fourth Edition (BSID-IV) neurodevelopmental assessment at two years
