Abstrakt: | Importance: High-dose omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation of children born at less than 29 weeks' gestation has been shown to improve IQ despite increasing the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Given that BPD is associated with poorer cognitive outcomes, it is unclear whether the increased risk of BPD with DHA supplementation is associated with decreased benefit to IQ. Objective: To investigate whether the increased risk of BPD with DHA supplementation was associated with diminished IQ benefit. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study used data collected from a multicenter, blinded, randomized controlled trial of DHA supplementation in children born at less than 29 weeks' gestation. Participants were recruited from 2012 to 2015 and followed up until 5 years' corrected age. Data were analyzed from November 2022 to February 2023. Interventions: Enteral DHA emulsion (60 mg/kg/d, to match the estimated in-utero requirement) or a control emulsion from the first 3 days of enteral feeds until 36 weeks' postmenstrual age or discharge home. Main Outcomes and Measures: Physiological BPD was assessed at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. IQ was assessed at 5 years' corrected age using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, 4th Edition; children from the 5 highest-recruiting Australian hospitals were assessed. The total effect of DHA supplementation on IQ was divided into direct and indirect effects using mediation analysis, with BPD as the presumed mediating variable. Results: Among 656 surviving children from hospitals involved in IQ follow-up (mean [SD] gestational age at birth, 26.8 [1.4] weeks; 346 males [52.7%]), there were 323 children with DHA supplementation and 333 children in the control group. Mean IQ was 3.45 points (95% CI, 0.38 to 6.53 points) higher in the DHA group than the control group, despite an increase in the risk of BPD (160 children [49.7%] vs 143 children [42.8%] with BPD). The indirect effect of DHA on IQ via BPD was not statistically significant (-0.17 points; 95% CI, -0.62 to 0.13 points), with most of the effect of DHA on IQ occurring independently of BPD (direct effect = 3.62 points; 95% CI, 0.55 to 6.81 points). Conclusions and Relevance: This study found that associations of DHA with BPD and IQ were largely independent. This finding suggests that if clinicians supplement children born preterm with high-dose DHA, any resulting increase in BPD risk would not be associated with meaningful reductions in the IQ benefit. |
