U.S. Fertility Clinic Services and Profiles for 2021

2021 data from the National ART Surveillance System (NASS) provides an overview of assisted reproductive technology services across U.S. fertility clinics. The dataset includes clinic profiles, contact information, and summary statistics, collected by the CDC. It can be linked to related ART datasets using the ClinicID field.

Use Cases

• Map clinic locations and service availability using Geolocation, City, and States columns.
• Analyze the distribution of clinic services and status by state using Clinic Status, Topic, and LocationAbbr.
• Link clinic profiles to patient outcomes in other NASS datasets by joining on the ClinicId key.
• Profile clinic leadership and contact networks using MedicalDirector, FacilityName, and Phone fields.

Strengths

• National coverage of U.S. fertility clinics reporting to the CDC surveillance system.
• Includes a unique ClinicId for linking with related ART datasets on patient characteristics and success rates.
• Contains geospatial data (Geolocation) for mapping analysis.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single year (2021), preventing longitudinal trend analysis.
• Sample size and row count are unknown, making it difficult to assess statistical power.
• Data completeness for columns like Data_Value, Counties, and SubTopic is unverified.
