The number of congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) tests completed per year increased from 281 in 2014 to more than 2,500 annually during 2020 and 2021. The percentage of tests resulting in identification of positive cCMV cases remained consistent at 1% from 2018 to 2020. However, in 2021, the number of positive cCMV cases dropped to 0.4% This publication also includes: 1) Spotlights: Asthma Clinical Quality Improvement Processes: Evaluating Successes and Barriers to Implementation and Sustainability; and 2) Monthly Health Indicators Report.

Indicator report of the number of infants receiving CMV testing and the number of Infants testing positive for CMV after failing newborn hearing screening each year in Utah.

Objectives To determine the prevalence and survival rate; and to assess the maternal risk factors as well as complications of prematurity, associated with the mortality of very low and extremely low birth weight infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Mankweng Hospital. Materials and Methods A retrospective descriptive study was conducted at the NICU of Mankweng Hospital for a 7-month period from 1st January to 31st July 2015. The patient medical records and the Perinatal Problem Identification Programme (PPIP) data were used for the study. Results Prevalence of prematurity was 23%, Infants weighing between 500g-1499g represented 6.3% of the total live births and 25% of the admissions to the NICU; of which 4.9% were classified as extremely low birth weight (ELBW). Overall 77% of the study population survived until discharge. From the medical records, the survival to discharge of infants with weight 500g - 999g was 52%; and 84% for those with weight 1000g-1499g. Multivariable analysis found that improved survival was associated with an increase in gestational age (p <0.001), as well as birth weight (p <0.001) and prolonged length of stay. Variables associated with poor survival were spontaneous preterm labour (p = 0.031), low Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes (p <0.001), sepsis (p = 0.001), respiratory distress syndrome (p <0.001), pulmonary hemorrhage (p <0.001), hypothermia (P = 0.005), resuscitation at birth (p = 0.002) and necrotising enterocolitis (p =0.044). Antenatal steroids were not associated with survival (p =0.111), however this was not documented in 53%(134/252) of the records, so the non-significance to outcome in this study may not be a true reflection. The use of NCPAP or SiPAP only was associated with improved survival of up to 69% and high mortality rates were recorded in babies who required invasive ventilator support. Multi-organ immaturity was found to be the most common cause of death, followed by sepsis. Conclusion: The prevalence an

Cytomegalovirus (sy toe MEG a low vy rus), or CMV, is a common herpesvirus that affects people of all ages. Most CMV infections are "silent", meaning most healthy people who are infected with CMV have no signs or symptoms. Others may feel like they have the flu. When CMV infection occurs during a woman's pregnancy, the baby can become infected before birth. CMV infection before birth is known as "Congenital CMV".

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common viral infection that infants are born with in the United States. It causes more long-term health problems and childhood deaths than Down Syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, and neural tube defects.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection before birth is known as "congenital CMV". When this happens, the virus is transmitted to the unborn infant and can potentially damage the brain, eyes and/or inner ears. If the inner ear gets damaged, the baby may be born with hearing loss, or develop hearing loss after birth or during early childhood.

Citomegalovirus (ci-to-mé-ga-lo-vi-rus), o CMV, es un virus común que infecta a las personas de todas las edades. La mayoría de las infecciones por CMV son "silenciosos", es decir, la mayoría de las personas que están infectadas con el CMV no presentan signos ni síntomas. Otros pueden pensar que tienen la gripe. Cuando la infección por CMV ocurre durante el embarazo de una mujer, el bebé puede ser infectado antes de nacer. La infección CMV antes del nacimiento se conoce como "CMV congénito".
