This study evaluated long-term survival of pediatric patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension treated with oral sildenafil monotherapy. It found that over 3 years, 71% of patients remained on therapy. However, the highest sildenafil dose was associated with increased mortality, especially in patients over 20kg or with more severe disease. Overall survival was still favorable compared to other pediatric PAH treatments. The reasons for higher death rates in the high dose group remain unclear.
