Met primary endpoint

registry analysis (superiority test); Omegaven vs Intralipid (Historical Control); p =0.001; Hazard Ratio (HR) 8.6 (95% CI 2.0 to 37.3) NCT00910104 ↗

paper Based on Cox models, subjects receiving fish oil-based ILE experienced reversal of cholestasis 6 times faster (95% CI: 2.0-37.3) than those receiving soybean oil-based ILE. PMID 19661785 ↗
