However, cases of congenital neonatal CMV infection with a negative amniocentesis result have also been reported in the literature.

The risk of bias in included studies was assessed using the Newcastle\u2013Ottawa Scale. The rate of severe symptoms at birth, defined as neurological symptoms or multiorgan involvement at birth, and the rate of severe sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and\/or neurodevelopmental impairment at follow\u2010up were the main outcomes of the study. The secondary outcome was the rate of pregnancy termination due to the presence of CMV\u2010associated central nervous system (CNS) findings or multiorgan involvement on ultrasound\/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seven studies were included in the systematic review and meta\u2010analysis.
