Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTime to Resolution of Parenteral Nutrition Associated Cholestasis Prior to End of StudyFrom initiation to end of study (End of Study : Discontinuation of Fish Oil Emulsion, Death, Transplant, or Discharge from the hospital, whichever is achieved first, up to 5 years).Time in days from the initiation of fish oil emulsions (initiation of study) until resolution of cholestasis as defined by serum conjugated bilirubin≤ 2 mg/dL prior to EOS (end of study).
PrimaryAll Cause Mortality During the Study.From initiation to end of study (End of Study : Discontinuation of Fish Oil Emulsion, Death, Transplant, or Discharge from the hospital, whichever is achieved first, up to 5 years).To describe proportion of infants who died secondary to any cause, related or unrelated to Fish Oil Emulsion.
PrimaryGrowth Z-scores for WeightFrom initiation to end of study (End of Study : Discontinuation of Fish Oil Emulsion, Death, Transplant, or Discharge from the hospital, whichever is achieved first, up to 5 years).
The Z-score indicated the number of standard deviations away from the mean. A weight Z-score of 0 is equal to the mean. A weight Z-score of ≤ -2 indicates an underweight status, while a weight Z-score of ≥ 2 indicates overweight or obese status.
SecondaryNumber of Infants Who Achieve Resolution of Parenteral Nutrition Associated CholestasisFrom initiation to end of study (End of Study : Discontinuation of Fish Oil Emulsion, Death, Transplant, or Discharge from the hospital, whichever is achieved first, up to 5 years).To describe the number of infants who achieved resolution of cholestasis following initiation of fish oil emulsion.
SecondaryNumber of Subjects With Platelet Count <100,000/µLFrom initiation to end of study (End of Study : Discontinuation of Fish Oil Emulsion, Death, Transplant, or Discharge from the hospital, whichever is achieved first, up to 5 years).To describe the number of study subjects who experienced a platelet count below \<100,000/µL anytime during the duration of the study.
SecondaryNumber of Subjects With INR ≥1.4.From initiation to end of study (End of Study : Discontinuation of Fish Oil Emulsion, Death, Transplant, or Discharge from the hospital, whichever is achieved first, up to 5 years).To describe the number of study subjects who experienced an INR ≥1.4 anytime during the duration of the study.
SecondaryNumber of Study Subjects Who Experienced a Blood Stream InfectionFrom initiation to end of study (End of Study : Discontinuation of Fish Oil Emulsion, Death, Transplant, or Discharge from the hospital, whichever is achieved first, up to 5 years).
To describe the number of study subjects who experienced a bloodstream infection during the duration of the study. Bloodstream infection as defined by detection by the culture of bacteria or fungus from the blood.
SecondaryLiver or Multi-visceral TransplantFrom initiation to end of study (End of Study : Discontinuation of Fish Oil Emulsion, Death, Transplant, or Discharge from the hospital, whichever is achieved first, up to 5 years).To describe the number and percentage of infants who required liver or multi-visceral transplant.
SecondaryAll-cause Mortality up to Hospital DischargeAnytime from initiation of study to discharge from the hospital.To describe number and percentage of infants who died secondary to any cause, related or unrelated to Fish Oil Emulsion.

This infant had been initiated on fish oil emulsion at another institute. Fish oil emulsion in this infant was provided as a continuation of care from another hospital.
