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.
