The aim of the trial is to investigate the effect of daily supplementation with 2.7 grams of long chain n-3 fatty acids during the third trimester of pregnancy. In 1990, 533 pregnant women, while they were in gestational week 30, were randomized to fish oil supplements providing the mentioned amount of long chain n-3 fatty acids, olive oil supplements, or no supplements; they were asked to take the supplements until delivery. Health outcomes were assessed during pregnancy and delivery. Further, offspring health and development has been examined during the ensuring two decades by making linkages to the rich Danish health and administrative registries, by asking the offspring to complete web-based questionnaires, and by examining the offspring physically.
2,554 studies on the registry are indexed under Premature Birth; 498 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 533 is above the median of 84 across 1,689 interventional studies indexed under Premature Birth.
