ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2010

41 participants

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fish oil supplementation with Lovaza, formally known as Omacor will result in a significant reduction in serum triglyceride (TG), an increase in high density lipoproteins(HDL), and an improvement of endothelial dysfunction.

Conditions: Cardiovascular Disease, HIV Infection.

Primary outcome: Change in Baseline Mean Serum Triglyceride Level at Study End.

Enrollment: 41 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 41 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
