Biologic Sex Prior history of CMVC Age at biologic initiation Mayo endoscopic subscore prior to biologic initiation Mayo endoscopic subscore at time of biopsies for CMV Days from biologic initiation to CMV biopsies Colon CMV histopathology Corticosteroids at the time of colonic biopsies for CMV CMV biopsies taken during a hospitalization Received antiviral therapy for CMVC Colectomy within 30 days of CMVC Death within 30 days of CMVC
