Area-Level Social Deprivation and Cytomegalovirus Seropositivity at the Time of Solid Organ Transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. The risk factors for CMV seropositivity in SOT recipients, including area-level social deprivation in the US, have not been fully characterized.

Objective

To (1) evaluate CMV seroprevalence, (2) assess the recipient characteristics associated with CMV seropositivity, and (3) assess the association of area-level social deprivation index (SDI) scores with pretransplant CMV serostatus.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cross-sectional analysis of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients database included all adult (aged ≥18 years) SOT recipients from January 1, 2008, to May 31, 2022. Data were analyzed from April 1
