Summary
This study looked at whether sildenafil is safe for premature babies born before 29 weeks who are at risk of a serious lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia. 109 babies on breathing support were given the drug, and researchers tracked side effects and how the drug moved through their bodies. The goal was to see if sildenafil could help control the disease without causing harm.
