In this study, breakthrough CMV infection occurred in approximately 30.8% of patients who were receiving antiviral prophylaxis.
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a primary risk factor, increasing the hazard of infection by nearly 68%.
The median time to detection is roughly 30 days post-transplant, emphasizing the need for early vigilance.
