Purpose
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is an important cause of long-term childhood disability. In Australia, the identification and treatment practices and the long-term clinical and neurodevelopmental outcomes of children with cCMV are unknown. The Australasian cCMV Register (ACMVR) is a longitudinal register and resource for research that aims to describe and explore, in Australian children with cCMV: (1) their clinical characteristics over time, (2) antiviral therapy use/prescribing up to 1 year of age and (3) risk factors and potential avenues for prevention of adverse sequelae of the virus.
