Title:A randomized, double-blind study of the effects of omega-3 fatty acids
(Omegaven) on outcome after major liver resection
Version:2Date:26 March 2015
Reviewer: J. Wesley Alexander
Reviewer's report:
1. I felt that this study protocol was reasonable and the approach for using
omega-3 fatty acids for reducing complications is justified.
2. This could be major: However, I am not sure that two doses of fish oil are
sufficient and feel they should consider at least another dose on postop day
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
Declaration of competing interests:
Non-financial competing interests: Yes, we are currently working on the concept
that fish oil and arginine will have anti-inflammatory effects which may be useful
for several conditions.
