The Importance of Regular and Ongoing Training For Congenital CMV in Countries Without Routine Screening: A Survey Among Pediatricians

Öz

Objective: Although CMV is the most common congenital infection, studies on how its importance is understood by healthcare professionals are limited. This research aims to assess awareness and knowledge of pediatricians regarding congenital CMV infection (cCMVi).

Material and Methods: The target group of the study was pediatricians in Turkey. A 26-item anonymous questionnaire was developed, and implemented online. Participants were grouped by their professional seniority: Group-I, pediatric residents; Group-II, pediatricians; Group-III, specialists in any sub-branches of pediatrics; Group-IV, associate professors/professors in pediatrics.

Results: The questionnaire was completed by 434 respondents. The mean duration of practice was 11.95±7.3 (1-40) years for professionals, and 31.14±13.1 (1-60) months for pediatric residents. Of the participants, 85.9% knew that cCMVi screening is not applied in Turkey and 89.4% had previously followed a patient with suspected cCMVi. Incorrect answers regarding transmission routes and diagnosis methods were significantly more preferred by pediatricians other than residents. Correct answer rates about most common clinical presentation, imaging modalities, common disease-related sequelae, and treatment were generally quite low.

Conclusion: The responses revealed a lack of knowledge and awareness about cCMVi in Turkey among pediatricians, especially in professionals rather than residents. It is important to provide regular and ongoing training about cCMVi in countries where screening is not implemented.
