In the subsection ‘Fish oil in parenteral nutrition’ on page 255 (column 2, lines 28–29) incorrect information about the EPA plus DHA content of Lipoplus is given.(Reference Calder1)

The information provided (0·6 g per 100 ml) was calculated based upon the EPA and DHA contents of a standard fish oil. However Lipoplus contains more concentrated marine n-3 fatty acids as reported by Driscoll et al. (Reference Driscoll, Ling and Bistrian2) Therefore the statement should read:

Each 100 ml of Lipoplus will typically contain about 1·2 g EPA+DHA.
