当今世界最严重的围产期问题是早产，其后果是对幸存者的生命和终身健康构成威胁。有人建议用鱼油来解决这个问题。从小型试验中获得了令人鼓舞的结果，这些结果需要在设计良好的大型试验中得到证实。ORIP试验涉及大约5510名妇女，将为母体补充鱼油是否减少早期早产的问题提供明确的答案。

The most significant perinatal problem in the world today is early preterm birth with its consequent threat to life and life-long health in survivors. Fish oils have been suggested to overcome this problem. Encouraging results have been obtained from small trials that need substantiation in a large well designed trial. The ORIP trial, involving approximately 5510 women, will provide a definitive answer to the question of whether maternal fish oils supplementation reduces early preterm birth.
