NCT ID NCT01923636
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 254 newborns with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection to find early signs that predict hearing loss or other brain-related problems at age 1. Researchers used clinical exams, brain scans, and lab tests to build a scoring system. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk babies early and guide follow-up care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a reliable way to predict which newborns with congenital CMV will develop hearing loss or other problems, helping doctors decide on early treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The score may not be accurate enough for all babies, and results may not apply to different populations.
