Does fish oil prevent preterm birth?

Keywords: Fish oil, N-3 fatty acids, preterm birth, randomized trials

A literature review was performed on the effect of fish oil on preterm birth in observational and randomized studies. The only weak effect on preterm birth found in meta-analyses could be caused by the low compliance, and the fact that many women stop supplementation before term together with a fast acting effect on fish oil.
