Abstract
This retrospective study estimated the birth prevalence of congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) in southeastern Minnesota, US. The birth prevalence was about 3 times and about 18 times greater following implementation of hearing-targeted and universal newborn cCMV screening, respectively. Most infants born with cCMV will not be identified in the absence of systematic newborn screening programs.
