True-positive saliva real-time PCR detection (defined in relation to urine detection) was associated with earlier saliva sampling (P = .002) and a higher saliva viral load (P &lt; .001). We further identified a saliva viral load cutoff value that reliably distinguished between true-positive and false-positive saliva results.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In newborns undergoing targeted screening for cCMV, saliva real-time PCR is highly sensitive yet has a low positive predictive value, necessitating confirmatory testing.
