“…Three RCTs [23,24,29] reported significant reductions in maternal blood pressure amongst women with PET. Only one [23] of these RCTs in addition to other studies [13,17,19,20,22,26] , however, reported sufficient data to estimate the overall rate of hypotension (0%, 0/39).…”

“…Of the 4 studies [13,23,24,26] (81 pregnancies) that reported on visual disturbances, 2 RCTs [23, 24] detailed 14 women (17.3%, 14/81) who were affected by visual disturbances.

“…Its use in human pregnancy has largely been restricted to a few specific maternal indications, including severe PH [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] or preeclampsia (PET) [23,24] , and as an adjunct to presumed inadequate uteroplacental perfusion [13,25] and severe early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) [12,[26][27][28][29] . This in turn has led to a current ongoing multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) of SC for the treatment of severe FGR [30] .…”

Introduction: This systematic review evaluates maternal tolerance and obstetric and perinatal outcomes following sildenafil citrate (SC) use in human pregnancy. Data Sources: Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched. Relevant full-text studies including case series and reports in English were included. Publications were excluded if the pregnancy was terminated or if SC was used only at conception. Results: Sixteen studies were included (n = 165). Indications for use and outcomes were variably reported. Maternal outcomes reported were headache (45.8%, 49/107), visual disturbances (17.3%, 14/81), dyspepsia/epigastric pain (15.8%, 15/95), and hypotension (0%, 0/39). There were more caesarean (83.3%, 55/66) than vaginal deliveries (16.7%, 11/66) and postpartum haemorrhage occurred in 3.9% (3/76) of women exposed to SC. Neonatal outcomes including nursery admission (67.3%, 35/52), Apgar scores <7 at 5 min (7.1%, 4/56), and cord arterial pH <7.1 (0%, 0/17) were reported. Stillbirths (4.3%, 3/69) and neonatal deaths (3.9%, 5/129) were comparable to SC-naïve groups. There were no congenital malformations (0%, 0/35). Conclusions: Despite limited data, overall there does not appear to be any severe adverse maternal side effects nor any increase in the rate of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, or congenital anomalies attributed to SC.

Maternal Sildenafil vs Placebo in Pregnant Women With Severe Early-Onset Fetal Growth Restriction

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IMPORTANCE Severe early onset fetal growth restriction caused by placental dysfunction leads to high rates of perinatal mortality and neonatal morbidity. The phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor, sildenafil, inhibits cyclic guanosine monophosphate hydrolysis, thereby activating the effects of nitric oxide, and might improve uteroplacental function and subsequent perinatal outcomes. OBJECTIVE To determine whether sildenafil reduces perinatal mortality or major morbidity. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted at 10 tertiary referral centers and 1 general hospital in the Netherlands from January 20, 2015, to July 16, 2018. Participants included pregnant women between 20 and 30 weeks of gestation with severe fetal growth restriction, defined as fetal abdominal circumference below the third percentile or estimated fetal weight below the fifth percentile combined with Dopplers measurements outside reference ranges or a maternal hypertensive disorder. The trial was stopped
