A scoping review published in the Journal of Perinatology has mapped existing research on magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) therapy for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). The study focused on evaluating the treatment's efficacy, safety, underlying mechanisms, and existing clinical knowledge gaps.
Following standard JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, researchers searched key medical databases including MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Reviews, and CENTRAL without date restrictions. The search identified thirteen publications, providing a comprehensive overview of the current evidence surrounding magnesium sulfate use in neonatal care.
