There were no short-term complications attributable to sildenafil therapy identified in term or near-term neonates (GA ≥31 weeks). This cohort of neonates does not typically undergo ophthalmic review as part of the ROP screening protocol in our institution. Routine ophthalmic review of neonates on sildenafil therapy, who are not at risk of ROP, is therefore unlikely to be warranted. Further research is required to clarify the relationship between sildenafil and ROP.
