2021 Assisted Reproductive Technology Success Rates for U.S. Fertility Clinics

Four datasets from the National ART Surveillance System (NASS) collect success rates, services, and patient characteristics from fertility clinics across the U.S. Data were updated on September 11, 2024, and are available from data.cdc.gov. The Success Rates dataset contains cumulative success rates for cycles started in 2021, broken down by patient age, egg source, and prior ART history.

Use Cases

• Analyze clinic-level success rates (Data_Value, Data_Value_num) by patient age group (Breakout) and egg source (Filter) for 2021 (Year).
• Compare clinic performance across states (States) and counties (Counties) using facility identifiers (ClinicId) and cycle counts (Cycle_Count).
• Investigate relationships between clinic characteristics (Clinic Status, MedicalDirector) and reported success metrics (Data_Value, Question).
• Link success rates to other clinic data (ART Services, Patient Characteristics) using the shared unique clinic identifier (ClinicId).

Strengths

• Data is part of a national surveillance system (NASS) collecting from clinics across the U.S.
• Includes four linkable datasets (Success Rates, Services, Patient Characteristics, Summary) via a unique ClinicID.
• Success rates are broken down by multiple dimensions, including patient age, egg source, and prior ART use.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
