Flow chart of study profile.Dietary fatty acid intake from 3 to 12 months of life CA in comparison with dietary intake recommendations. (Bayley-III composite scores at 12 and 24 months corrected for term.Main fatty acids of the Baseline characteristics of the PUFA subgroup—obstetric parameters and neonatal outcome.Categorical data are presented as numbers with percentages in parentheses. Continuous data are presented as median with interquartile range in parentheses. Parental education data were collected at study inclusion and divided into three groups according to highest education of either parent: primary education = compulsory school; secondary education = high school; tertiary education = postsecondary education. Necrotizing enterocolitis was diagnosed either clinically (Bell’s stage ≥ Ila) or after exploratory surgery. Cerebral ultrasound was used for the diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia. Retinopathy of prematurity was diagnosed by direct ophthalmoscopy.Dietary total PUFA intake during complementary feeding and its association with neurodevelopmental outcome at 12 and 24 months CA.PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; CA, corrected age; CI, confidence interval; ERS, estimated regression slope (increase in cognition/language/motor score per g PUFA/d). Dietary DHA intake during complementary feeding and its association with neurodevelopmental outcome at 12 and 24 months CA.DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; CA, corrected age; CI, confidence interval; ERS, estimated regression slope (increase in cognition/language/motor score per mg DHA/d).
