OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of high TG levels in @entity600 ( @entity600 ) @entity1 and what the risk factors are for high TG levels. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a prospective observational study of @entity412 concentrations in @entity600 @entity1 receiving lipid infusions. Lipid infusions were begun at 0.5 grams/kg/day at age one day and the dose advanced by 0.5 grams/kg/day. @entity412 concentrations were drawn when the dose reached 1 and 2 grams/kg/day. We compared @entity1 with normal @entity412 levels ( <=200mg/dl) with those with elevated @entity412 levels (>200mg/dl) with univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: There were 75 @entity1 included in the analysis. Twenty (26.7% , 95% CI=16.6-36.7%) had @entity412 levels >200mg/dl. On multiple logistic regression analysis, lower birth weight was associated with the risk of an elevated @entity412 level. @entity412 levels >200mg/dl did not predict future mortality or morbidity. CONCLUSION: Elevated TG levels occur commonly in @entity600 @entity1 and are associated with a lower birth weight.
