Findings - continued DEATHS: 55 Total (12.1%) • Fetal demise • Stillborn • Post-birth death • No racial/ethnic differences apparent • Limited follow-up period
Treatment Trends Over Time
Conclusions • Registry provides a profile of serious cCMV cases over a 34-year period in Texas • White Hispanic infants appear to be more seriously affected by cCMV • Lower weight, length and head circumference • More often low birthweight • More symptoms at birth
Conclusions - continued • Eight common symptoms affected > 25% of infants • Racial and ethnic differences in demographics and birth characteristics
Conclusions - continued • Eight common symptoms affected > 25% of infants • Racial and ethnic differences in demographics and birth characteristics • Low birthweight a risk factor for more severe illness & death • 8 to 12 percent experienced death / fetal demise • Anti-viral treatment increased over the time period
Limitations • Mostly serious cases • Not true incidence rates • Data Quality
Lessons Learned Study Methods • Participation • Data quality • Epidemiologic considerations • “Bang for the buck” • Not a surveillance system
