• Description:
  To assess prevalence of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV)-coded diagnosis among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) infants who received Indian Health Service (IHS)-funded care during 2000-2017. Using data from the Indian Health Service National Data Warehouse, we identified AI/AN infants with congenital CMV-coded diagnosis, defined as presence of a diagnostic code for congenital CMV disease or CMV infection (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision or Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification 771.1, 078.5, P35.1, B25.xx) within 90 days of life. We calculated prevalence of congenital CMV-coded diagnosis overall, by age at first CMV-coded diagnosis, and by geographical region. During 2000-2017, 54 (1.5/10,000) of 354,923 AI/AN infants had a congenital CMV-coded diagnosis; 32 (0.9/10,000) had their first CMV-coded diagnosis within 45 days of life, and 22 (0.6/10,000) between 46 and 90 days of life. Prevalence of congenital CMV-coded diagnosis varied by region (range 0.9/10,000 in Southern Plains to 3.7/10,000 in Alaska, P = 0.0038). Among the 54 infants with a congenital CMV-coded diagnosis, 48% had clinical signs such as jaundice, petechiae, or microcephaly, compared to 25% of 354,869 infants without a CMV-coded diagnosis (P < 0.01); and 1 (2%) vs. 277 (0.1%), respectively, died (P < 0.05). The prevalence of congenital CMV-coded diagnosis among AI/AN infants who received care at IHS facilities was slightly lower than in other studies based on health claims data and varied by geographical region.
