Title: Study of the effect of fat emulsion on the bilirubin metabolize in the infants of low birth weight
Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of fat emulsion on bilirubin metabolize in the infants of low birth weight.Methods 744 infants of low birth weight were divided into two groups,group A(n=372) and group B(n=372),group A received early therapy with fat emulsion(2 day after birth),and group B received fat emulsion 7 days after birth.The levels of bilirubin and serum albumin in both groups were detected.Results The levels of bilirubin and serum albumin in group A increased significantly,as compared with those in group B(P0.01),but mortality rate in group A was significantly lower than that in group B(P0.01).Conclusion The infants of low birth weight receiving early therapy with fat emulsion can reduce the mortality rate of infants of low birth weight and can enhance their life quality.
