SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 months

Population: As there was no CMV DNA via PCR detected from the participants' saliva samples tested at Visit 4, this arm was excluded from the statistical analysis. Where CMV DNA was detected below the assay's limit of quantification, the quantity was defined as 1.0 IU/ml for the purpose of statistical analysis.

The quantity of detectable CMV virus (measured via quantitative polymerase chain reaction in IU/ml) in saliva, urine and vaginal secretions at individual study visits

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 months

Population: Multiple logistic regression with CMV shedding in pregnancy status (detected or not detected) as the dependent variable (outcome) and the demographic variables as the independent variables (predictors), on participants where all saliva, urine and vaginal secretion samples were collected and tested at Visit 1, Visit 2 and Visit 3.

The multiple logistic regression of CMV shedding as an outcome (dependent variable; detected or not detected) at any visit during pregnancy with demographic factors (independent variable) as a predictor, adjusted for all demographic variables described, using odds ratio in the results between CMV seropositive women with CMV shedding and without CMV shedding, with 95% confidence interval.
