Objective: To compare clinical outcomes of using different alternative lipid emulsions for longer durations in babies who are at high risk for preterm morbidities. Methods: Preterm infants born ≤ 30 wk receiving SMOFlipid versus Clinoleic with longer durations (≥ 14 d) were included in this retrospective study. The authors compared demographic features, clinical applications, and morbidities between epochs: epoch 1 (Clinoleic, July 2017–June 2018) versus epoch 2 (SMOFlipid, July 2018–June 2019). Results: A total of 91 infants were included in the study. In bivariate analysis; moderate bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (p = 0.000) and composite outcome [BPD, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) needed treatment, cholestasis and late-onset sepsis and/or mortality] rates were significantly higher (p = 0.043) in Clinoleic group. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was found that the type of lipid emulsion used had no significant effect on these morbidities. Conclusions: Since both groups had comparable morbidity and mortality, both lipid emulsions are equally safe in preterm babies requiring parenteral nutrition.
