2021 U.S. Assisted Reproductive Technology Success Rates

2021 data from the National ART Surveillance System details success rates for fertility clinics across the United States. It distinguishes between cycles using a patient's own eggs and donor eggs, reporting cumulative success rates per intended retrieval, actual retrieval, and transfer. The dataset excludes research cycles and allows linkage of four related datasets via a unique ClinicID.

Use Cases

• Analyze cumulative success rates per intended retrieval for patients using their own eggs versus donor eggs.
• Compare average number of transfers per intended retrieval across clinics using the linked ClinicID.
• Examine success rates for patients with no prior ART cycles after 1, 2, or all intended egg retrievals.
• Investigate success rates by types of embryos and eggs used in transfers for donor egg cycles.

Strengths

• Data is part of a national surveillance system collecting from clinics across the U.S.
• Provides separate success rate calculations for own-egg and donor-egg cycles, reflecting clinical reality.
• Enables linkage of four related datasets (Services, Patient Characteristics, Success Rates, Summary) via a unique ClinicID.

Limitations

• Excludes cycles considered research, which may limit analysis of novel procedures.
• Success rates for donor egg cycles are not cumulative and not broken down by patient age group.
• Specific row counts, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
