Nutritional supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids is important in preterm infants neurodevelopment. This was a randomized trial, in which newborns <1500 g and/or <32 weeks gestational age were assigned to one of two groups, based on the milk formula they would receive during the first year of life. Group A were given formula milk with an ω-6/ω-3 ratio of 2/1, and group B given formula milk with an ω-6/ω-3 ratio of 1/1. Growth, visual-evoked potentials, brainstem auditory-evoked potentials, and plasma fatty acids were periodically measured, and psychomotor development was assessed using the Brunet Lézine scale at 24 months. A control group was made up of preterm who were fed exclusively with breast milk. There were no sign...
