Study Summary

Intestinal failure associated liver disease is a cholestatic liver disease associated with prolonged need for parenteral nutrition that can lead to such significant complications as liver failure. In the neonatal population, infants with history of intestinal resection and short bowel syndrome are at increased risk for this disease. The investigators plan to compare two possible lipid dosing preventative strategies including a composite, fish oil lipid and soy-based lipid reduction.

Primary Outcome

Cholestasis was defined as a direct bilirubin \> 2 mg/dL on two measurements 5 to 7 days apart.

Interventions
