Antioxidant Micronutrients and Essential Fatty Acids Supplementation on Cystic Fibrosis Outcomes: A Systematic Review

Antioxidant micronutrients and essential fatty acids supplementation intake appears to have a protective effect in some diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and asthma. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review to evaluate the effects of these nutrients on nutritional and clinical outcomes of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This is a systematic review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in CF. MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, and Scopus databases were searched for RCTs published from 1948 through February 2019.
